Carbide facing on the spindle and anvil provides wear resistance for long use in demanding measurement tasks. Hardened, ground spindle with a carbide anvil and super hard carbide tips ensures longevity and consistent accuracy over time. This micrometer is suitable for DIY and hobby projects, CNC machinists, fabricators, automotive mechanics, and general inspection tasks. Ratchetstop mechanism delivers uniform pressure for precise, repeatable measurements and reduces user variability. Key attributes Function: precise measurement tool with durable carbide components for sustained accuracy. Material and construction: carbide facing on spindle and anvil, hardened ground spindle, carbide anvil, and super hard carbide tips. Performance: built for long life, consistent readings, and reliable repeatability across uses. Applications and scenarios 1) In a CNC workshop or fabrication , use this micrometer to verify the dimensions of turned parts during setup and firstpiece inspection to ensure parts meet tolerance. 2) In a DIY or home , use it to check fit between fabricated components, such as mating shafts, sleeves, or housings, to confirm proper clearance or interference. 3) In automotive service or general maintenance, perform quick checks of component dimensions to assess wear and determine if parts need replacement or adjustment.
