iGagingDepth Gauge Digital Electronic Indicator 0-22" Measuring Range, 0.0005" Resolution, 2-Position Base (Inch/MM/Fractions)

this is a great depth gauge tool for price and accuracy.

Came with a couple of extra smaller tips, they could come in handy. And one did, I had to modify one of the smaller tips to measure a cut I made in my mill. The cut was only 4.5mm deep, and 5mm wide, so with the boring head in the way, I had to modify a tip. But it worked perfectly for that measurement. And no, I didn't want to move the cylinder I was machining out from under the boring head to measure it, because even with a DRO, I didn't want to take the change of it not going exactly back in place if I had to do more cutting.

I do beverage can seamer setup and wanted to check my countersink depth on aluminum cans without having to go to the lab and wait for the results from the girls. We use a PC based Kuhnke digital and optical check system, which is great and accurate (when used properly) but crashes constantly.This was the only reasonably priced option I found, claiming 0-1 in. and off-center gauge position. The gauge is nice, but will NOT work as delivered. With supplied needle tip it cannot be zeroed when mounted on included fixture, the screw in gauge holder is too short. I made a 3/4 in spacer for the adapter to screw into and Tig welded it to the offset hole on the included fixture. Now it can read from true flat to csink depth correctly. Wish it was available in .0001 res. like the lab uses, but gets me within spec.Excellent price and quality, comes with extensions and different tips to measure depth of 6 inches, extra battery and plastic box. At probably 1/10th the price for the one the lab uses.

Well made, good price, well packaged, works like it should - can't ask for much more.

This was a gift. My friend is very happy with it because it saves him a lot of time. Digital read out is great for a person not familiar with other formats. The idea of being able to zero at other points saves a lot of time and calculating.

I am a machinist and bought this for the added flexibility over a traditional depth mic. So far I have been impressed with the accuracy, repeatability, and flexibility of this tool. Most of my tools are Mitutoyo and while this obviously lacks that quality feel, it works good and costs far less. Very pleased with this purchase.

Dead-on accurate against my Kreg router table setup bars; I tested 1/2", 1/8", and 5/16" .I have two complaints: the first is that the read-out is very difficult to read unless you read it straight on (see pictures); I wish it had a back-light to add contrast/readability. The second is that the case isn't designed very well and some of the tips get lose and you can inadvertently turn on the gauge when closing the case because there's very little space between the lid of the case and the on button; not a big deal because I plan to make my own case for it.

Others have written that their battery was dead upon arrival, having to install the second battery supplied. Apparently the folks at IGaging have read the comments and made the necessary changes. When I received mine both batteries were separate from the indicator so that there was no possible way for them to discharge while in storage and transit. I HATE using and reading regular depth gauges and usually would use a digital caliper to take a quick measurement of the rod instead of reading the instrument. With this tool I can take measurements in a fraction of the time it took me previously. The unit also has a HOLD button that allows for the reading to remain static (unchanged) until the next reading is made. The price is MUCH lower than the other competitors as well. A MUST HAVE!
