I made a depth arm for my 2 beam height gauge (note that I spelled gauge correctly :)):

There is also a video:
Now my height gauge is a lot more useful! The pin is threaded (4-48) for standard indicator ends. It was a fun project. For personal therapeutic value I decided to use the shaper. I would set it and try to walk away and do something else but I just found myself watching it go back and forth curling a nice chip each stroke. What do they say, simple things for simple minds or something like that. I turned the pin between centres, and I was quite pleased with how tightly the import lathe I had held tolerance.
Drawings on are my blog: https://thecogwheel.net/2017/01/16/height-gauge-depth-arm/ (https://thecogwheel.net/2017/01/16/height-gauge-depth-arm/)

I am interested that you make a point of spelling gage(sic) correctly but use strange dimenshuns for the threads (4x48) I have never understood that. Vive la difference!

These days I'm happy if there's only one single letter word in a sentence: "I" or "a". [as opposed to the other single letter words: "r" (are), "u" (you), and probably a handful I don't know]
CogWheel:
This has been on my "build sometime" list for quite some time, but hasn't made it to the "built it" list quite yet. Looks like a well-executed project that will expand your accurate measuring capabilities considerably.
