DIY depth measuring tool


Recommended Posts

My recent staff turn renewed my frustration with measuring distances along the length of the staff.

Today I made this.  The caliper piece came off of a theta adjuster on an XY table for silicon wafers (probe station). 

I 3D printed an end piece and then, using a brass washer, reamed out the precision face.  I had to do some lapping on a diamond plate to get the faces to align properly.  I am within 10 microns I think.

Until I turn my next staff, I will not know how well this works.
