Height gauge M206.042 — 500 mm, carbide scribing needle, fine adjustment (Metav IndustryLine)

The Height gauge M206.042 is a precision workshop instrument for vertical marking and layout across a 500 mm range, combining a robust profile with a fine-adjustment mechanism for controlled scribing.

• Fine-adjustment spindle for precise scribing
• 500 mm measuring range, robust profile
• Carbide scribing needle on tool steel shank

Precision marking with controlled fine adjustment

This analogue height gauge provides repeatable scribing through a dedicated fine adjustment spindle that reduces setup error and enables millimetre-fine positioning before the final mark. The included hardmetal scribing needle (carbide) is mounted on a tool steel shank for durable contact with workpiece surfaces; this combination minimises wear and maintains a sharp scribe over extended use. The vernier scale and matt‑chromed finish on the scale improve legibility while resisting glare in bright workshop lighting.

Designed for medium-range workshop layout and repeatability

Classified for the medium range (measuring range up to 500 mm), the instrument balances reach and stiffness for layout tasks on components, jigs and fixtures. The robust sectional profile supports stable vertical travel and reduces deflection during marking, which translates into better reproducibility on larger assemblies. Use in machine shops and toolrooms benefits from the instrument’s focus on stable handling and consistent vertical alignment.

Clear analogue reading and standards-based construction

The gauge is an analogue (nonius) instrument with a vernier reading of 0.05 mm and a stated accuracy of ±0.07 mm, conforming to DIN 862. These characteristics make the device suited to routine quality checks and layout work where mechanical precision is required without the need for electronic data output. The analogue format also removes dependence on batteries and simplifies long-term workshop use.

Robust materials and practical handling for daily use

Built from special tool steel with a matt‑chromed scale and nonius, the device is engineered for daily workshop exposure. The carbide scribe resists blunting on harder surfaces, and the clamping specification supports secure lock‑up after adjustment. At a declared mass of 7.4 kg, the gauge presents as a substantial layout tool that sits firmly on the shop surface during operation, reducing the need for repeated re‑alignment.

FAQ

What measuring tasks is this gauge best suited for? This height gauge M206.042 is intended for vertical marking and layout on components, fixtures and assemblies up to 500 mm, offering a balance of reach and stiffness for workshop and toolroom tasks.

How precise are readings with the analogue vernier? The instrument provides a vernier reading of 0.05 mm with a stated accuracy of ±0.07 mm under the conditions described by DIN 862, making it suitable for general machining and inspection tasks.

Can the scribing needle be replaced, and what material is it? The scribing needle is made of carbide (hardmetal) mounted on a tool steel shank; it is a replaceable wear part designed for durability on harder materials.

Is there a fine-adjustment for controlled marking? Yes, the gauge includes a fine-adjustment spindle that allows controlled pre-positioning before final scribing to improve repeatability.

What maintenance does the tool require? Routine cleaning of the scale and protection of the scribe point are recommended; the matt‑chromed finish reduces glare and aids in preserving legibility and function over time.
