Value Collection 622-8512 Vernier Height Gage 0-12 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 622-8512 is a vernier height gage designed for precision layout and measurement work on surface plates and machine tables. It reads from 0 to 12 inches with a graduation of 0.001 inch, giving technicians the resolution needed for accurate scribe-line and inspection tasks. The base and beam are constructed from steel with a satin chrome finish that reduces glare and resists corrosion in shop environments. At 13 pounds, the gage is heavy enough to stay stable on a flat surface without clamping. Machinists, toolmakers, and quality-control technicians are the primary users of this instrument.

This height gage suits general metrology work in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and inspection departments. It is appropriate for layout tasks such as scribing parallel lines, checking step heights, and verifying part dimensions against a datum surface. The base measures 4.9 inches long by 3.3 inches wide, providing a stable footprint on a standard granite or cast-iron surface plate. It is suited for both one-off inspection tasks and repetitive production checks where a vernier scale is acceptable in place of a digital readout.

Key Features

• 0 to 12 inch measurement range covers most standard workpiece heights
• 0.001 inch graduation for precise layout and inspection readings
• Steel construction with satin chrome finish for durability and glare reduction
• Base footprint of 4.9 inches long by 3.3 inches wide for stable surface-plate seating
• Single-piece vernier scale — no battery or electronics required

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard surface plates and machine tables used in general machining and inspection applications. No specific system or model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this gage.

Installation Notes

Place the gage on a clean, level surface plate before use. Verify the base and beam are free of burrs or debris that could affect the zero reading. No electrical connections are required. Calibration checks against a known gauge block stack are recommended before critical inspection work.
