Double-Column Height Gauge M206.046.T — 500 mm, Fine Adjustment & Carbide Scriber

The Double-Column Height Gauge M206.046.T is a precision marking and measurement instrument for workshop and toolroom use, offering a 500 mm measuring range and a fine-adjustment mechanism for reproducible scribing and layout work.

• Double-column stability for consistent measurements
• 500 mm measuring range for medium-sized components
• Dial indicator 0.01 mm for fine reading
• Carbide scribing needle with fine-adjustment control

Precision and stability for accurate scribing

The double-column construction provides a rigid guide that reduces lateral runout and ensures stable vertical travel, which is essential when transferring layout lines or setting heights on jigs and fixtures. A mounted dial indicator with 0.01 mm resolution offers clear, incremental reading for fine work, while the mechanical design maintains an accuracy of ±0.04 mm across the measuring span. This combination of stability and high-resolution indication reduces rework and shortens set-up time in medium-format inspection and marking tasks.

Designed for workshop workflows and repeatability

A dedicated fine-adjustment control and a hand-operated wheel enable controlled, repeatable movement of the scriber for delicate alignment and step measurements. The instrument’s double-counting mechanism records travel direction separately, making it straightforward to follow incremental adjustments or return to a previously set reference. These features translate into practical time savings on repetitive marking jobs and a lower risk of human error during precise layout operations.

Built materials and measurable performance

Constructed from stainless steel and fitted with a carbide scribing needle, the gauge resists wear and maintains tip geometry for longer service life. Measurable specifications include a measuring range of 0–500 mm, a mass of 7.2 kg for good base stability, and a clamping dimension of 9×21 for secure fixation of the slider. The height gauge is an analogue instrument with a tactile handwheel and robust mechanics that suit machine shops, toolrooms and quality control benches where practical resilience and straightforward reading are priorities.

FAQ

How accurate is the height gauge for layout work?
The M206.046.T delivers an accuracy of ±0.04 mm and a dial resolution of 0.01 mm, which is suitable for precise scribing and medium-format inspection tasks.

Is the scribing needle durable for repeated use on steel?
Yes, the instrument is fitted with a carbide scribing needle, providing long-term tip retention and reliable performance on metallic surfaces.

Which measuring range category does this gauge fall into?
With a measuring range up to 500 mm, the gauge is classified in the medium range (300–500 mm), balancing reach and rigidity for workshop components.

Can the dial indicate small incremental adjustments clearly?
The integrated dial indicator with 0.01 mm reading allows clear observation of small increments, while the fine-adjustment control permits controlled, repeatable movement.

Is the gauge recommended for routine workshop inspection or more for layout work?
The robust double-column design, stainless-steel build and fine-adjustment make the gauge suitable for both routine inspection and precise layout or marking operations.
