Mitutoyo 505-742J Dial Caliper, 0.1" per Rev, 0-6" Range, 0.001" Accuracy

my 35 yr old earlier version has got rather worn,so i bought this new one,being rather ancient i wanted an imperial version,on this latest version the one rotation of the dial needle covers only 0.1 ins which gives larger easily readable dial divisions,and it has the really good advantage , all mechanical with no batteries which can run down.another advantage is that there is a separate metric scale which reads to nearesr 1 mm I can thorougly recomend it.

Mitutoyo is a leader in highly accurate, tough, and well designed measuring equipment. Ask any machinist/inspector in the industry and they’ll all agree Mitutoyo is top shelf quality. I have used Mitutoyo and Starrett and find both to be of equal quality.

Mitutoyo, never disappoints. Fit and finish is very nice. Gets used at least a few times weekly. Was tired of replacing digital calipers that always seemed to fail yearly (not Mitutoyo). It’s quite nice not having to stress if it measures accurately, because you know it does.

The dial readout is very crisp and easy to read; it is marked for every 0.001" (one thousandths). It is easy to interpolate by eye to 0.0005" (five ten thousandths) and probably to 0.00025" (25 one hundred thousandths). I am very pleased and used these to identify a ten thousandths error in a recently purchased replacement part. I love the dial readout. It is much easier to read than a vernier scale. I prefer the dial to electronic readout since there is no battery to go dead while the tool sits in my tool drawer. This is the perfect choice for users that only occasionally make measurements with this level of precision. Be sure to read and follow the card in the plastic envelope: wipe the calipers down with a lightly oiled rag to remove the shipping preservative. It will slide much more smoothly that way. Just buy it! The quality is a joy to use.

Great quality tool.
