Dial Caliper

Dial calipers are precision measuring tools commonly used in various industries, including woodworking, metalworking, and engineering. They are part of the supply class "Measuring Tools" and specifically fall under the supply group "Craftsmen's" in the category of measuring tools.

Dial calipers consist of a main scale and a sliding jaw with a dial indicator. The main scale is fixed, while the sliding jaw can be moved along the main scale to measure the dimensions of an object. The dial indicator provides a precise reading of the measurement on a circular dial.

These calipers are designed to provide accurate and reliable measurements with high precision. They are commonly used for measuring the outside diameter, inside diameter, depth, and step dimensions of various objects. Dial calipers are known for their ease of use, durability, and versatility.

They are often preferred over other types of calipers due to their clear and easy-to-read dial indicator, which eliminates the need for manual interpretation of measurements. This makes them particularly useful for tasks that require precise measurements, such as machining, carpentry, and quality control.

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