About this model
These brackets allow you to make a thickness caliper using a dial gauge, a piece of 3/4" plywood and some misc. hardware. New Added a version with a lever to raise the dial gauge tip instead of grabbing the probe or knob. The lever will raise it about 0.31" / 7.8 mm, but you can still raise the tip higher without the lever if needed. The dial gauge is a Triton 1" Dial Indicator 0.001" Graduation Travel Lug Back White Face, which was about $15 on Amazon. The OD of the gauge is 55 mm (behind the knurled ring). There's a lug in the back with a 1/4" hole that's centered 10 mm from a raised circular area (which is about 1 mm thick) on the back of the indicator. The shaft of the indicator is about 9.5 mm in diameter. The slots in the brackets are 18.45 mm / 0.726" wide to fit most 3/4" plywood. …
