- Satin Chrome Calipers: Fine quality calipers made of fully hardened stainless steel with microfine black graduations on a satin chrome finish for easy and precise reading; raised sliding surfaces prevent defacement and wear of graduations.
- Accurate Measurements: With a jaw depth of 1.6″, these fine quality vernier calipers measure accurately in inch or metric with vernier scales of 0.001"/.02mm graduations; perfect measuring tool for the machine shop and household/DIY measurements.
- 4 Measuring Capabilities: These calipers can be used to measure inside dimensions (ID), outside dimensions (OD), depth, and step measurements.
- Knurled Lock: A knurled lock screw that holds the sliding jaw in position to hold measurement when needed; a thumb-operated fine adjustment roller allows easy adjustment to a desired size.
- Set Includes: Fowler caliper along with a fitted case and instruction manual.
- Graduations: .001 inch/.02mm.
- Inside, outside, step and depth measurement.
- Stainless steel construction with satin chrome finish.
- Slide-type fine adjustment thumbwheel with clamp screw lock.
- Supplied in shop-hardened case.
The Fowler 52-058 series fine adjustment inch/metric vernier
caliper measures in inches and metric, has a 0.001"/0.02mm
graduation, and four-way jaws for measuring the inside diameter
[ID] and outside diameter [OD] of holes, grooves, and tube
thicknesses, and depth and step measurements of bores and
grooves. An extra-long vernier ensures accuracy. A depth rod can
be read directly from the vernier scale. A fine-adjustment screw
ensures accurate measurements, and a locking screw secures the
measurement tightly in place for accurate readings. Sharp black
graduations on a satin-finished bar ease reading. Raised sliding
surfaces prevent wear of graduations for accuracy and long life.
Ground and lapped measuring faces ensure accuracy and wear
resistance. Hardened stainless steel construction provides
durability and wear resistance. The caliper includes a fitted
case. Vernier calipers are measuring instruments commonly used
for inspection in manufacturing to provide the precise
measurements of an object. A pair of jaws attached to a long beam
with a marked scale is used to take inside, outside, and step
measurements. An additional depth probe slides along the beam to
take depth measurements. One jaw is fixed to the end of the
scale, while the other jaw slides along it with gearless
precision to take measurements. The main scale is engraved
directly on the beam while the vernier scale is engraved on the
slider mechanism. The base measurement is taken from the long
beam, which provides the initial whole measurement in inches,
centimeters, or millimeters. To obtain the total measurement, the
base reading is added to the vernier scale reading, which
provides fractional measurements in inches or millimeters. A
locking mechanism provides the ability to take differential
measurements for determining the difference in measurements
between two objects. Compared to digital and dial calipers,
vernier calipers are more durable because they do not have
internal moving parts, and are less prone to inaccuracy caused by
shock, debris, and other contaminants, but they can be more
difficult to read than digital and dial calipers. Vernier
calipers are commonly used in fields such as metalworking,
mechanical engineering, machining, and carpentry. This product
