Vernier and digital height gauges with scriber for surface plate metrology, layout and inspection — in stock at Multi Trade Combines, AT Road, Guwahati.
A height gauge is the standing precision instrument on a surface-plate inspection setup. Used in combination with a flat granite or cast-iron surface plate, it provides a reference measurement of height from the datum surface to any feature of the workpiece — either by measuring with the gauge or by scribing a layout line at a precise height before machining operations begin. Precision engineering shops doing turning, milling, jig boring and grinding use height gauges daily to check that machined shoulders, bores and steps are within the tolerances called on engineering drawings. A vernier height gauge with a scriber is the practical tool for marking out and for checking heights to 0.02 mm; a digital model adds convenience and finer 0.01 mm resolution for quality-control inspection work.
Multi Trade Combines stocks height gauges in our measuring tools range at AT Road, Guwahati, serving precision engineering workshops, tool rooms, quality inspection departments and engineering colleges across Northeast India. Our range includes both vernier and digital models in 300 mm and 600 mm travel sizes, from brands with established quality — call or WhatsApp to confirm current availability by model and size. We also stock the companion surface plate, vernier calipers and outside micrometers for a complete dimensional inspection setup.

Guwahati's engineering manufacturing sector — covering pump and valve fabrication, precision component machining for tea factory equipment, agricultural implement production and custom engineering — relies on accurate layout and inspection tools. A height gauge on a surface plate is the correct tool to check that a machined flange face is flat and square within 0.05 mm, that a stepped shaft's shoulder is at the correct height above the datum, or that drilled holes in a jig plate are positioned to within 0.1 mm. ITI and engineering college workshops teaching precision fitting and machining maintain height gauges as standard lab equipment. For workshop buyers in Guwahati who need a quick supply of precision instruments without waiting for a Kolkata or Delhi delivery, Multi Trade Combines is the regional in-stock source for the complete measuring tools range.

A height gauge is a precision metrology tool used on a surface plate to measure the height of machined features above a datum surface — hole centres, step heights, shoulder positions, and bore depths on turned or milled components. The scriber attachment marks layout lines on workpieces before machining, ensuring holes and slots are positioned accurately. For engine reconditioning, the height gauge measures piston crown height relative to the deck. Call +91 91812 13332 for current stock.
A vernier height gauge reads the measurement by aligning a vernier scale against the main scale — resolution typically 0.02 mm. A digital height gauge displays the reading electronically on an LCD — resolution 0.01 mm or better, with zero-set at any position and data output capability on better models. For precision engineering workshops and quality labs, digital height gauges reduce reading errors and improve throughput. WhatsApp +91 76359 98826 for models and pricing.
