Fowler 52-058-016-0, Vernier Caliper with 0-6"/150mm Measuring Range

• 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 has a 1 year warranty offered by Fowler Precision Tools.
