Does what it’s supposed to do with standard and metric scales… and at a reasonable price.Probably should get 5 stars but do not want to be lumped with those who merely look at it in the package, without using it … and give it 5 stars. Yes, I’ve actually used it.

Came across this depth gage and bought it for use on my table saw. It works great and I wish I had come across it years ago.

I bought this to set table saw blade and router bit height in router table. the scale has mm on the metric side, and inches on the SAE side. the SAE side is marked to 16ths, so resolution is fair but one could interpolate to 32nd. It will suit for most of my woodworking. the scale comes thru the top and the offset from the top should be the same as the gap at the bottom. I like that it has two feet for straddling over the target and will stand up independently on a level surface.It also serves to set router fence to bit distance horizontally, but the bit needs to be at least 1/4 in h to meet the scale.

Der Tiefenmesser funktioniert einwandfrei. Die Skala ist gut ablesbar. Im Gegensatz zu manch anderen Geräten ist die metrische Skala doppelt auf einer Seite und die Zollskala auf der anderen Seite (und stört deshalb nicht).

Since I have a few Milescraft products and needed a depth gauge, I purchased this one. I do not see anything bad about this depth gauge. I have read a few negative reviews for this tool and those are not truthful. This is not meant to be a super strong tool because it is not required to measure stress. It is intended to measure depth and distance. This is a great tool for this type of work.The set screw works great. You do not have to torque it down like a head bolt on a Chevy 350. Just snug it up. You will get a decent measurement. For a budget-friendly tool that will help you measure depth, this is a great tool. I am using my Milescraft depth gauge to set my router bit depth for sign making and setting up my router table fence and bit height. I can also use this on my band saw fence setup. It is a great tool. If you need digital then be prepared to spend a lot more money.
