User questions & answers

Question:	Does the thumb friction wheel rotates freely once the jaws are closed at the require force
Answer:	no they do not. they are not like micrometers which do have a ratchet or some sort of friction thimble that wont let you tighten them any more. calipers are not as precise as a micrometer because of this.
Question:	This is the second one I have purchased. Both of them when I install the supplied battery the display just blinks/ flashes
Answer:	Good afternoon,I apologize for the trouble. Please try using something dull and skinny such as a paperclip to try pushing the origin button. The origin button is very hard to press because it is not meant to be pressed on a regular basis. Our authorized Mitutoyo repair technicians use a dull rounded tip pick to press origin buttons. Also, the origin button sometimes needs to be pressed for up to 5 seconds. I reccomend that you try holding it for at least 10 seconds just to ensure you've held it long enough. Please let me know if this suggestions do not help and I will be happy to help you further!Thank you very much for your time and have a nice evening! Sincerely,WillMSI-Viking Gage
Question:	Who needs a calibration certificate? I am DIY woodworker to use with a lathe etc, so would the non calibrated one work for me
Answer:	It's generally something pertinent only to professional use of the item, and even then usually only under truly precision operations (if measuring to the resolution of a hundredth of an inch is sufficient for you, a calibration certificate would be overkill IMO); There's no substantive difference between a calibrated and non-calibrated caliper. However, some employers will require that their employees utilize measuring tools certified for use according to ISO/IEC standards; Basically, it helps to minimize (though doesn't fully prevent) human error and inconsistencies across measuring devices. Even if it doesn't create a pragmatic concern with regards to tolerances involved in building a given object, if two people using two identical calipers get different measurements from each of their own calipers then it can cause confusion and wasted time/money isolating what the "truth" is, and if those individuals are plugged into the overall production chain in a way where their measurements will be utilized by others then it can manifest in a ripple-effect that multiplies the severity of the discrepancy by the time the unit is nearing the end of the production line. DIYers generally shouldn't concern themselves with getting a calibration-certified unit they're DIYing themselves a space shuttle to withstand re-entry into the atmosphere. Or unless they just want to rest easy that their caliper is objectively precise to a ridiculous degree; If you want to be sure that the measurement you take of any given item is the same measurement that, say, a CIA machinist and engineer may derive when measuring the same item in their shop.

Question:	Does the certificate version have any extra feature? If no, why would you buy the one with certificate
Answer:	no extra features included, but the certs are to ensure precise measurement, a necessity for those in machining and metal fabrication working with tight tolerances. I can still calibrate my calibrator using a 1-2-3 block and/or O.D. micrometers.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hi, it says it's the 530-114 model which is 200mm according to manufacturer's website, however the pic shows a 150mm one, could you please confirm
Answer:	The picture only represents one model of the calipers available. You have to select measurement "0 - 8" to get model 530-114. I purchased the 300 mm model 530-119 by selecting "0 - 12" in the measurement pull down. The model I received was correct based on my selection.
Question:	Is the scale/dial engraved or painted
Answer:	Scale on the metal portion of calipers is laser engraved.
Question:	This has inches broken into 16ths only. Others are divided into 10ths and then divided into quarters so they have 40 ticks in an inch. What's better
Answer:	The main scale is 1/16ths but the secondary scale is 1/8ths, so the resolution is 1/128". If you are only interested in inches you should look for a strictly imperial verions. If you don't need that fine of precision and don't know how to read a Vernier caliper, a digital model might be more useful.
Question:	Does the caliper come with a carrying case
Answer:	It comes with a blue plastic sleeve that snaps close-not what I would consider a carrying case. It's a great product though!!
