Precision micrometer designed for reliable, repeatable measurements and long-term durability Key benefits Durable, wear-resistant contact: Ultra-hard tungsten carbide anvil resists wear and preserves measurement accuracy over time. Consistent measurement force: Ratchet pin handle delivers controlled, repeatable force so readings are not affected by variable hand pressure. High accuracy and easy operation: High spindle accuracy lets you obtain precise readings by placing the workpiece between the spindle and anvil and adjusting the main shaft. Versatile function: The alloy micrometer set works as an outside/outer-diameter micrometer and as a thickness measuring ruler, covering length, diameter, and thickness checks. Robust construction: Machinist outside micrometer is made from high-quality stainless steel for good mechanical properties and high strength. How it solves common problems Reduces measurement variability caused by inconsistent hand pressure (ratchet pin ensures uniform force). Minimizes wear-related drift in readings (tungsten carbide anvil and stainless steel body maintain accuracy). Simplifies multiple inspection tasks with a single tool that measures outer diameter and thickness without swapping instruments. Main features Tungsten carbide anvil for superior wear resistance and stable contact surface. Ratchet pin handle for controlled, repeatable closing force. Precisely manufactured spindle for accurate adjustments and reliable measurement results. Stainless steel construction for strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Functions as an outside micrometer and a thickness measuring ruler for broad workshop use. Typical applications Inspecting the outer diameter of shafts, pins, and cylindrical machined parts in a machine shop. Measuring sheet metal, gaskets, or thin components to confirm thickness during fabrication and quality control. Verifying small part lengths and diameters during assembly, maintenance, or prototype development. Practical notes Place the measured object between the spindle and the anvil, then use the ratchet to apply consistent force and adjust the main shaft to read the value. Regularly check and clean contact surfaces to maintain accuracy; tungsten carbide and stainless steel resist wear but benefit from normal care. Suitable for machinists, engineers, quality inspectors, and hobbyists who need a dependable, accurate outside micrometer and thickness measuring tool that combines durable materials with straightforward operation.
