Inside Caliper

Inside calipers are a type of measuring tool used by craftsmen in the field of precision measurement. They are part of the supply class "Measuring Tools" and specifically fall under the supply group "Craftsmen's" in the same category.

Inside calipers are designed to measure the internal dimensions of an object or the distance between two opposite sides of an opening. They consist of two legs or jaws that can be adjusted to fit the desired measurement. The legs are connected at one end and have a joint that allows them to pivot. This pivot point is typically adjusted using a screw or a knurled knob.

To use inside calipers, craftsmen adjust the legs to fit the desired measurement and then lock them in place using the screw or knob. They then insert the calipers into the opening or against the inner surface of the object being measured. The measurement can be read from a scale or a vernier scale on the calipers.

Inside calipers are commonly used in various industries such as metalworking, woodworking, and machining. They are essential tools for accurately measuring the internal dimensions of objects, such as holes, cylinders, or recesses, ensuring precise and accurate results in the crafting process.
