Inside depth mic WTB

Anyone got an extra one laying around? 0-4” is plenty, nothing crazy needed

Digital or mechanical is fine, I don’t need anything crazy accurate
 
@Chicken lights - can you get your reading using a vernier calliper?

Probably, but it’s more of a pocket, the green would be the material being removed, the blue stars would be my reference points

In my head, the mic could sit flat on both reference points
 
A flat block (eg 123 block) with the Caliper slide down through the holes or even a plain piece of flat steel can be laid across the two sides and a Caliper used to measure the pocket.
Just subtract the block or plate.

Or zero a digital one at the block/plate thickness.

You can also buy a depth adapter for the Caliper. (or borrow mine).

I didn’t know they had a caliper base, that’s likely the cheapest option and would work well

Thanks!

They do work well. I'm just a bit worried that your block is too wide between the two asterisks even for the base. You might still need a flat plate of some kind. A 123 block or 126 block would solve that problem. If the measurement is not critical, any flat plate will do.
 
Or two parallels side by side with a gap between then for the Caliper stick. Bonus if your parallel has a hole in it so you can just use one.
