A covered rack prevents dirt and debris from entering the gearing, and helps prevent measurement errors. This caliper is used for measuring inside dimensions (ID), outside dimensions (OD), and depths. The caliper measures 0.10 per revolution of the dial. The hardened stainless steel components, including the beam, measuring surfaces, rack, gears, and depth rod, offer corrosion resistance, increased accuracy, and long life. Self-contained movement eliminates gear misalignment, while the dual shock-proof drive mechanism reduces wear on the rack and pinion. An adjustable dial enables zero setting. This caliper comes with a fitted case. A pair of jaws attached to a long beam with a marked scale is used to measure inside, outside, and step measurements in standard or metric units. 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 to take measurements. A circular dial indicator is fixed to the movable jaw on a toothed gear rack that transfers movement of the jaws to the dial needle. The base measurement is taken from the long beam, which provides the initial whole measurement in inches or centimeters, and added to the dial reading, which provides fractional measurements in inches or millimeters. Dial calipers are commonly used in fields such as metalworking, mechanical engineering, machining, and carpentry.
