INSIZE 1236-514 Vernier Caliper 500 mm, 0.05 mm Graduation, 100 mm Jaw Length

The INSIZE 1236-514 vernier caliper is a professional-grade measuring instrument engineered for precision in industrial and workshop environments. With a substantial measuring range of 500 mm and a fine graduation of 0.05 mm, this tool provides the accuracy required for demanding engineering and metalworking projects. The inclusion of 100 mm long jaws allows for deep reach, making it highly effective for measuring larger components where standard calipers might fall short.

Advantages

This vernier caliper is constructed to provide consistent and repeatable results, which is critical for quality control and manufacturing processes. The robust design ensures durability during daily use in harsh workshop conditions, while the clear scale markings facilitate quick and accurate readings. Its extended jaw length offers significant versatility, enabling users to perform internal and external measurements on complex parts that require deeper access than conventional tools can provide.

Suitable for

• General metalworking and machining tasks
• Quality control and inspection of manufactured parts
• Large-scale engineering projects
• Internal and external dimension verification

When it may not be suitable

This tool may not be the ideal choice for applications requiring digital readout convenience or data output capabilities. Additionally, for extremely high-precision tasks requiring sub-millimeter accuracy beyond the 0.05 mm graduation, a digital or micrometer-based instrument might be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 500 mm
• Graduation: 0.05 mm
• Jaw length: 100 mm
• Material: Hardened stainless steel
• Measurement type: External and internal

How to use

To use the vernier caliper, ensure the measuring surfaces are clean and free of debris. Loosen the locking screw and slide the jaw to the approximate size of the object. Place the object between the jaws and gently slide the movable jaw until it makes firm contact with the workpiece. Tighten the locking screw if necessary to secure the reading. Read the main scale and align it with the vernier scale to determine the final measurement value by adding the two readings together.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 500 mm range is sufficient for your largest workpieces
• Ensure the 100 mm jaw length provides adequate depth for your specific applications
• Consider if a manual vernier scale meets your workflow requirements compared to digital alternatives

Usage recommendations

Always store the caliper in its protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the measuring surfaces. Regularly clean the jaws with a soft, dry cloth and apply a light coat of anti-corrosion oil to maintain smooth movement and prevent rust.
