This outside micrometer is designed for precise external measurements with a 0 to 1 inch range and a resolution of 0.0001 inch. Key benefits and features - High precision in a compact range: 0 to 1 inch with 0.0001 inch precision for accurate workpiece sizing. - Durable contact tips: precision carbide tips provide reliable measurements and long wear resistance. - Machinist oriented: built as a tool for machining applications, suitable for a variety of setups and inspections. - Essential for precision work: a reliable measuring instrument that supports careful tolerance control. - Consistent performance: solid construction delivers repeatable, precise readings over time. 2-3 practical use scenarios - Inspect external diameters: verify the outside diameter of shafts, pins, or studs on a lathe or milling machine to confirm setup and tolerances. - Check during assembly: measure components like bushings or spacers to ensure correct fit before final assembly. - Quality control checks: use in inspection routines to confirm finished parts meet specified dimensions before packaging or shipment.
