Height gages
Layout and vertical measurement
Height gages measure and scribe vertically on a granite plate, with great accuracy.
They come in electronic (with data output and advanced functions), gage block (DIGI-CHEK, highest accuracy) and vernier (rugged and battery-free) types.
Used to verify positions, mark references and inspect machined parts in the laboratory and on the shop floor.
