How to Use a Vernier Height Gage
- Check Calibration: Verify that all measuring instruments are properly calibrated before use.
- Zero the Scale: Set the scriber tip to the surface plate and align the scale to zero.
- Position the Workpiece: Place the item on the plate beneath the scriber.
- Read the Measurement: Align the vernier scale with the main scale for the final reading.
- Use for Scribing (if needed): Draw layout lines with the carbide-tipped scriber.
