Digital Electronic Calipers Easy read digital calipers.
Thickness Gauge 0-15mm Easy to read, great resolution A thickness gauge, sometimes referred to as a degree gauge, uses the simple device of having a much longer arm on the reading side to magnify any movement from the measuring side of the pivot. Thus a small gap between the tips becomes a much larger swing of the measuring arm and a reading can be taken from a suitably calibrated scale fixed to the opposite leg.
Both these hardened stainless steel, general duty electronic calipers measure with a resolution of 0.01mm/0.0005”. Useful features include push button metric to imperial conversion, a zero setting button and a locking screw for transference of measurements or settings. They are fitted with a fine adjustment roller, which allows for quick and easy precise measurements with a clear LCD display of the result. The 4 measuring options are external, internal, depth and step. Inc.vat Ex.vat Code 150mm £30.25 £25.21 388005 200mm £50.95 £42.46 388006

The Axminster Optical Centre Punch guarantees to achieve a precise punch location. It consists of a steel holder, 2 Perspex rods and 2 hardened steel punches (60° & 90°). The Perspex rods are each engraved on the base, one with a cross hair, the other a bullseye target. The rods take the light down and magnify at the same time. Once a rod is aligned with a mark, hold the base firmly and exchange the rod for a chosen punch. A light tap puts an indentation in the precise position. The base is 48mm in diameter with a slip resistant base; the punches and rods are 9.5mm diameter. Inc.vat Ex.vat Code Optical Centre Punch £55.96 £46.63 100244
