The Magna-Mike® 8600 is a portable thickness gauge that uses a simple magnetic method to provide reliable and repeatable measurements on nonferrous materials. Its operation is straightforward: measurements are taken when the magnetic probe is held or scanned on one side of the test material, while a small target ball, disk, or wire is placed on the opposite side or dropped inside a container. The probe’s Hall Effect sensor instantly measures the distance to the target, displaying a clear digital thickness reading on the large color VGA display.

Key Features:
