Outside Caliper

Outside calipers are a type of measuring tool used in various crafts and trades, including woodworking, metalworking, and machining. They are part of the supply class "Measuring Tools" and specifically fall under the supply group "Craftsmen's" in the same category.

Outside calipers consist of two legs or jaws connected by a pivot point. One leg remains stationary, while the other can be adjusted to measure the external dimensions of an object. The movable leg can be locked in place using a screw or a lever mechanism to maintain the desired measurement.

These calipers are commonly used to measure the outer diameter or thickness of objects such as pipes, rods, or cylindrical workpieces. They provide accurate and precise measurements, allowing craftsmen to ensure proper fit and alignment in their projects.

Outside calipers are available in various sizes and designs to accommodate different measurement needs. They are typically made of durable materials such as steel or stainless steel to withstand frequent use and provide long-lasting performance.

Overall, outside calipers are essential tools for craftsmen and professionals who require precise measurements in their work.
