Recently, an automotive parts manufacturer was searching for a system to measure over 4,000 individually machined components a day. 

I love to cook and for the most part, it is a precise science…at least when you are first learning how to do it.

A depth gage could be as simple as marks on a piece of tape, a line on a ruler, or tape on a drill. Fortunately, of course, modern gages take the guesswork out of measurement, providing a range of simple or high-tech options depending on the job.

How deep does the rabbit hole go? Don’t ask Alice—consult a depth gage! Whether a hole is three microns deep or three meters, there are a variety of simple measuring options readily available.
