The rod extends the measurement range of compatible depth gages from 7 to 8 inches, allowing technicians and machinists to reach deeper bores, slots, and stepped surfaces without changing instruments. With a rod diameter of 5\/32 inch (3.20 mm), it fits the standard spindle interface of the supported gage series. This accessory is installed by metrologists, tool room technicians, machinists, and quality control professionals working in precision measurement applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rod is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and quality inspection environments where micrometer depth gages must measure features beyond the range of the base rod set. It is suited for both production floor use and bench inspection work. The 443 and 445 Series micrometer depth gages are the specified compatible instruments for this rod. Typical applications include measuring the depth of counterbores, keyways, recesses, and similar machined features that fall within the 7 to 8 inch range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtends micrometer depth gage measurement range to 8.0000 inches maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRod diameter of 5\/32 inch (3.20 mm) matches the OEM interface specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect OEM accessory for 443 and 445 Series micrometer depth gages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually as a single replacement rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling during bench work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with STARRETT 443 and 445 Series micrometer depth gages as a direct accessory rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this rod is performed by qualified metrology or tool room personnel familiar with micrometer depth gage assembly. Before swapping rods, ensure the gage is zeroed and the spindle area is clean and free of debris or burrs. Handle the rod carefully to avoid nicking the contact surface, as surface damage will affect measurement accuracy. Verify proper rod seating and re-zero the instrument before taking measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessory Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Use With\u003c\/strong\u003e: 443 and 445 Series Micrometer Depth Gages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 to 8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRod Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inch (3.20 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnvil Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 71989\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538760302898,"sku":"71989","price":41.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/274b9ca1f7e316fb8c92dfb0bc47ab61.jpg?v=1785826169","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-71989-micrometer-rod-7-to-8-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
