        I have a 1-2 inch depth gauge but I need a zero to 1 inch. I have searched Moor and Wrights website and ebay but cannot find anybody selling these. Cannot find the rods on any of the sights that I have searched through. The rod measures 3.12mm / 123 thousands of inch (diameter). Does anybody know where these can be obtained.

        Any info is great appreaciated, Many thanks, Alan

          I have several depth micrometers and over the last 50 years have only once bought a replacement rod. This was for a Starrett make, the price bears no relation to what you get. I suggest you will be better off buying a new depth mic. Look out for offers with the likes of MSC.

            Would you consider making a rod from a piece of 1/8” silver steel? The only problem is to make the end square and flat, I thought about drilling a hole in a block and lapping the end but whether this would make a serious metrology tool I don’t know, but it might be ok if the odd tenth is not critical.

              Bowers Group now own the Moor and Wright brand.

              look at page 10 on the link below

              **LINK**

              Don't know if they will deal direct, or if there's a minimum order.

                Just check the diameter of the ones in the link, the only depth gauges they now sell have thicker rods than yours.
