300mm Depth Gauge With 100mm Angle Attachment And Measuring Anvil, DIN 862, Chrome Finish - Metav IndustryLine

Take advantage of a DIN 862‑compliant depth gauge that pairs robust construction with fine mechanical resolution; the matt‑chrome scale and 1/50 mm nonius (0.02 mm) resolution deliver repeatable readings for routine shop tasks. Order the depth gauge directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult the Metav team for application advice.

Depth gauge with angled base M204.045 — 300 mm measuring range, DIN 862 (Metav IndustryLine)

A depth gauge with an angled base designed for reliable depth and step measurements in metalworking and general workshop applications

• Measuring range up to 300 mm
• Nonius resolution 0.02 mm for fine readings
• Compliant with DIN 862 measurement standard
• Special steel construction with matt‑chrome scale finish

Consistent workshop measurements with measurable benefits

The instrument is built for everyday metrology tasks where reproducible results matter. With a measuring span of 0–300 mm, this unit sits in the Standard (100–300 mm) class, which provides the best compromise between reach and stiffness for general machine‑ and metalwork. The mechanical vernier (lower nonius, 1/50 mm) produces an effective reading step of 0.02 mm, enabling clear distinction of small depth differences without electronics. This reduces downtime for routine checks and supports quality control routines that depend on stable, traceable results.

Robust materials and finishing for long service life

The main profile is manufactured from special steel, while scale and vernier are matt‑chrome plated to resist glare and surface wear during repeated use. Such surface treatment improves legibility in workshop lighting and slows corrosion on sliding faces, which in turn keeps measurement uncertainty low over many cycles. The angled base and included measuring foot provide a firm seating on both flat and recessed components, helping to avoid tilt‑related errors and ensuring that each depth measurement starts from a known, stable datum.

Simple to read, simple to integrate into workflows

This mechanical depth gauge follows the familiar vernier principle described in DIN 862, so operators accustomed to analogue calipers will recognise the reading technique immediately. The lower nonius configuration supports rapid, one‑hand operation while maintaining high visibility of the scale. For shops preferring a low‑maintenance, battery‑free tool, the analogue design combines tactile feedback with proven robustness—ideal where routine checks and process control demand dependable instruments without electronic dependencies.

FAQ

What measurement range does the instrument cover?
The depth gauge M204.045 covers a measuring range of 0–300 mm, making it suitable for standard workshop and machine‑shop tasks.

How fine are the readings and what does the nonius mean?
Readability is achieved with a lower nonius of 1/50 mm, equivalent to 0.02 mm; the vernier allows direct analogue reading to this step size without electronics.

Is the tool appropriate for daily shop use?
Yes; classified in the Standard (100–300 mm) bracket, the gauge balances reach and stiffness, so it is well suited for everyday inspections in metalworking and general fabrication.

Which materials and surface finish are used for longevity?
The main profile is made from special steel with scale and vernier matt‑chrome plated, enhancing wear resistance and legibility under workshop conditions.

How should the instrument be cared for to preserve accuracy?
Keep sliding faces clean and lightly oiled after use, store flat and protected from heavy loads, and handle the vernier surfaces with care to maintain the repeatability of readings.
