Mitutoyo 531-128 Vernier Calipers, Stainless Steel, for Inside, Outside, Depth and Step Measurements, Inch/Metric, 0"/0mm-6"/150mm Range, +/-0.0011"/0.03mm Accuracy, 0.001"/0.02mm Resolution, 40mm Jaw Depth

I love it! An overview of the 53x vernier models and their distinguishing features

You can find the Mitutoyo 530 series here It is 531. Vernier calipers from the 532 Series are a source of inspiration, the kind of tool you keep using because it inspires you. Their silky satin finish is easy to read due to its tight tolerances and glare-free finish, enabling you to read the scale and numbers clear as day. It is designed to last as long as possible because all markings are etched just beneath the surface. For measurements, the 530 Series have a lock screw, but for the 531 Series it uses a thumb lock, which is preferred by some people including myself. The 531 is in my possession Due to this, I have numbered 128. It also includes an additional carriage that can be adjusted finely by connecting it to the main carriage. The guillotine and electronic dials have vernier scales, as well, those elegant productions from the 17th century that make dials and electronic components seem fragile, clumsy, and obsolete. You can also use a higher accuracy than 0 if necessary. The thickness of a human hair is 0. 02mm. A micrometer is a good option if the measurement is less than 001". However, as a result of Mitutoyo's numbering system, there are too many models to choose from, making the system rather a mess. It has the following three options *530 - Standard model with locking screw*531 - Thumb lock*532 - Lock screw with secondary carriage

The second set of three options is It denotes whether a tool has carbide jaws or not, and whether it has a standard or high accuracy, and whether its length is metric or in inches. Despite the odd numbering system, I have been able to discern little logic in the entries, except for the fact that 101, 102, and 103 are all metric, but they are not all the same, so finding the exact one you want takes a bit of searching. You will be rewarded with the results of your search if you look at Mitutoyo's own website. In all, it is a miracle that tools of such quality, refinement, and lasting value can always be found for such a low price -- an earlier reviewer compared his prized Mitutoyo to a Patek Philippe.

I had been looking for a replacement for my cheap plastic hobby calipers, something that would be tough enough to carry around in my tool bag but was not too expensive. Those calipers had to be durable enough to survive a few bumps, and I did not want to worry about accidentally damaging very expensive or very delicate ones (if they were too expensive or fragile, These calipers are very well made, have a very high degree of precision, and they are ideal for their purpose. As a result, I found it highly useful to have inches and metric measurements, as well as my full set of measurements (inside, outside, depth, and step, which I wasn't aware of This thumb clamp is a nice feature, since once you slide the calipers closed on an object to take a measurement, you can remove the calipers without losing the measurement. The fact that they are made in Japan and not China, and they are hardened stainless steel, also appeals to me. The storage pouch was a simple soft plastic piece, so that the items never got Overall, a very nice stay, I'd highly recommend it.

There is a friction stop/lock on the thumb rest 001. The digital Brown & Sharpe is far more precise than my Brown & Sharpe The accuracy is similar to 0005), but not quite as high. 01) Does not come with a hard plastic case, but they are more robust than digital or dial If you work with coolant, this is a great tool. A friction stop holds readings in place in place of the lock screw, but there is no lock screw.

There is no need for batteries. There is no need to zero. We experience no tracking loss when we move suddenly. This product is shockproof. A minimal amount of maintenance is required. There is nothing better than one of the best primative rulers you could imagine. Make sure that your eyes are in good working order.

It is both a precise measuring tool and a well-designed one. Exactly what I was looking for! The models tend to break or go wrong less often than dial/digital models, and there's no need to worry about batteries! This item is of the highest quality in terms of materials and workmanship. You can find this at big box stores for free or for a small fee, but this tool is much more precise and worth the extra $$. A hardcase would be a worthwhile purchase, however you won't be able to find one branded Mitutoyo. Mahr case is a good buy and I found a used one for cheap.

It is easy to use and versatile to work with digital calipers. As a frequent user of metric and imperial units at the same time, I have a pair that I can use on demand. My experience taught me that they do not last forever. When dropped, dial calipers can break or out of calibration. They are easy to read but they can get out of calibration. To me, a mechanical set of calipers would be one that I could hand down to my children, one that would continue to function well 50 years from now. You will not be disappointed with these, as they are highly accurate and Despite the fact that I need glasses to read them, other than that, they are very easy to operate. This is a highly recommended book.

When I was in college, I used Vernier calipers in one of my labs and I was delighted with their simplicity. In the past, I have owned digital calipers, but the batteries always ran out quickly. I love these calipers because they're so well made and the whole Vernier scale concept is just awesome.
