Hey all.
Have some 40" calipers that had the depth rod break off. Couldn't tell you how it happened, but it did.
Any way to repair this piece of equipment reliably?
weld, braze or bolt replacement rod and grind the end until its flush.
I think a depth rod on 40" calipers would be a nuisance more often than a help, simply because of the clearance required to manipulate it. I know I get annoyed with the depth rod on my 12" Mitutoyo digital calipers regularly, and reach for my 12" Starrett calipers that came without one. If you have a depth micrometer, perhaps a custom-length depth rod might be a better option. It would probably be more accurate, as well as being out of the way when not needed. Your mileage may vary....
perhaps it's a typo and they're 4" calipers. In which case, why waste our time with such nonsense. Buy some new ones.
Have you ever seen a 40" caliper (that's 1m) with a depth rod? I can't imagine anything more unwieldy. Good chance you'd stab all around you
