It extends the measurement range of those gages from 8 to 9 inches, allowing depth measurements in that interval without replacing the full gage assembly. The rod has a diameter of 5\/32 inch (3.20 mm) and an anvil-style rod tip. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and quality control professionals install this rod when servicing or expanding the capacity of a compatible depth gage. It ships individually and is a direct OEM-style accessory from Starrett.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rod is suited for precision depth measurement applications in machine shops, manufacturing floors, and metrology environments. It is used wherever a 443 or 445 Series Micrometer Depth Gage is in service and the operator requires depth readings in the 8 to 9 inch range. The rod swaps into the gage spindle assembly to replace a worn rod or to reach depths beyond the standard included rod set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtends depth gage measurement range to cover 8 to 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRod diameter of 5\/32 inch (3.20 mm) matches OEM specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRod-type anvil design for point contact at the bottom of bores and slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect accessory fit for STARRETT 443 and 445 Series Micrometer Depth Gages\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually, no additional hardware required\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.

Before swapping the rod, ensure the gage is clean and free of chips or coolant residue that could affect the spindle fit. Follow the gage manufacturer's service instructions for rod insertion and locking to maintain measurement accuracy. Do not force the rod into the spindle; proper seating requires only hand pressure.\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\u003eMeasurement Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 to 9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnvil Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rod\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\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: 71990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543408705842,"sku":"71990","price":43.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/faf54870540ad6c4b99cdfd8c0986b44.jpg?v=1785918142","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-71990-micrometer-rod-8-9-in-depth-gage","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
