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.
Question:	Does the unit come with a certificate of calibration
Answer:	There are two options to choose from - one is standard, the other with calibration.

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!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any benefit of getting a 4" caliper over a
Answer:	The 4” fits into lots of places that a 6” doesn’t. I’ve owned 4”, 6”, 8” and 12” dial calipers for almost 30 years, and almost exclusively used the 4” and 12”. So, when I bought the digital version, I only bought the 4” and 12” to cover the range.
Question:	Can Amazon guarentee these are real Mitutoyo and not chinese knock offs ? .. there are identical calipers shipping from china w/ "made in Japan
Answer:	I'm not an expert at recognizing legitEquipment, but I'm 99.99% sure mine is the real deal.
Question:	Is there any benefit of getting a 4" caliper over a
Answer:	Portability.Also, if you travel with tools at all, TSA agents will confiscate tools that are too long.
Question:	are they affected by strong magnetic fields
Answer:	I haven't had any problems. However I do believe that mine is very good fake. Not a real mititoyo. Sublte things that I have noticed when compared to my others. Be cautious.

Mitutoyo Advanced Onsite Sensor Absolute Scale Digital Caliper

Mitutoyo's absolute Digimatic Caliper is the next generation of electronic calipers. It keeps track of its origin point once set. Whenever turned on, the large LCD displays the actual slider position ready to start measurement. No more repeated zero setting is necessary with the absolute encoder technology, as well as no more concern for over speed errors.

Features

• Large and clear LCD readout.
• The Zero/ABS key allows the display to be Zero-Set at any slider position along the scale for incremental comparison measurements. This switch will also allow return to the absolute (ABS) coordinate and display of the true position from the origin point (usually jaws-closed point).

Product description

• Hardened stainless steel construction for protection of caliper components
• Solar-powered
• Hard-coated solar panels for increased durability in energy storage solar cells and safe operation
