Selected User Reviews For 5" Stainless Steel Vernier Caliper - SAE & Metric
It is difficult to count how many different calipers I own they range from very expensive digital calipers to ones that are almost The following is what I use for woodturning, specifically for size features for small diameter spindles (usually less than two inches) Hold the caliper against the wood and reduce its diameter in one spot while ensuring that it is parallel to the surface The points ought to slide into the groove after they are taken off of the tool. It is not vital for this application to have the actual measured dimensions, but getting one piece to match another is essential. Lastly, the blunt jaws of the caliper allow it to slide on to the wood where sharper points on more expensive calipers might grab it. There are three or four of these that are perfect and cheap enough that I can set them ahead of time to the critical dimensions, making the turning process more efficient and with less chance of My plan is to order.
According to the product description, the item was supposed to be stainless steel. It turned out, however, that it was not stainless steel for the price. In only a few days, it rusted on about 50% of the surface. More importantly, I am bothered by the fact that the actual measurement of the outside is about one tenth of an inch off. Interior measurements are even worse than exterior measurements! It looks like they left one of the tips partially unfinished, so this specific caliper cannot be used to make any kind of precise measurement of the inside of an object. Even though I have used it a couple of times, I would not recommend anyone use it.
Maybe I should have known better than to buy cheap calipers on the web. Most of these are bad because they try to do too many things at once and fail at each one. To me, I was merely seeking an inexpensive pair of vernier calipers that could primarily be used for outside measurements, but could also measure inside radii occasionally. The calipers do seem to operate in theory the way they should, but the manufacturing is very imperfect, causing them to wobble and be Vernier markings are rather thick, which defeats the purpose, since it is difficult to tell when one is lining up with another. I am unable to determine what the tension screw at the top does, and the depth gauge is just another unnecessary component in a cluttered design. All in all, it's useful, but I am not likely to rely on it extensively.
It works well and is reasonably priced. I would recommend it. It works well and is reasonably priced. Beads, metalworking, and crafts are the reasons I purchased this product. There was an oily film, but it was tightly coiled. It helped me get it started measuring after I applied the oil. When moving parts are present, stainless steel requires a lot of oil. I was wondering why the metal needed so much oil. Tape measure in hand, I checked the size. According to the article, it's.
These are a great price, but they are not stainless steel. In addition, they must be durable and stainless in order to be used in a classroom. A total of 10 of them were returned by me. It cost me money to send them back even though they were not accurately It took only a few days for me to receive.
The loose stones we wanted to measure are on the Amazon website, and I got some reviews and research on the devices. I am quite pleased with how smoothly this device works and how well it operates without effort.
This caliper is perfect to have in your toolbox and to use occasionally. Without paying a lot of money, I was able to get exactly what I needed.
It is a great value.
