#Best digital caliper upgrade

Unlikely to last for too long before you upgrade to the set you should have bought.

Possible to order the plastic set by mistake.

Questionable reliability with the readout.

Not well made enough for consistent accurate readings.

Extremely well priced tool, can almost be used as disposable.

Luck may play a part in getting a reliable set. Given the amount these types of calipers sell for, I doubt the quality of the electronics or parts can be relied on to last. My biggest concern with any of the budget priced calipers would be the reliability of the digital readout and the linear encoder. 002” which isn’t great to be honest, but for what these cost it isn’t too surprising. The other choice of stainless steel would be the preferred option if you want a budget set for general ‘household’ use. The plastic set is optimistically described for household or diy use but I doubt they will be good for anything.

Make sure these are not too big for the space around your machine.Īt the other end of the spectrum is this set from Adoric, they give you a choice of a plastic and a stainless steel steel body.

Higher cost for initial purchase, but will likely be more cost efficient over time due to its longer lasting build quality.

Industry standard tool, Used by professionals.

This digital caliper accuracy is as high as can be.

If your machine is close to a wall or in an enclosure, this Mitutoyo 8 inch set might not let you measure your part while it is still in the machine. If you extend a 12” set of calipers out, the depth blade at the rear will make the overall length of them to over 24” long. If you need the extra measuring distance this instrument provides then you should get them.īut don’t buy a bigger set just because you can, the extra size of the calipers can work against you in smaller spaces. The main issue here is that bigger is sometimes not better. There are several sizes of Mitutoyo calipers available including a 12 inch, 18 inch and a small 4” set.Īll the opinions I gave about the 6 inch digital calipers apply to these as well.

Higher cost for initial purchase, but will likely be more cost effective over time due to its longer lasting build quality.Įven though I have just reviewed the 6” Mitutoyo calipers I thought it would be useful to review this Mitutoyo 8 inch digital caliper.

The quality ensures they will last for many years.

Battery will last approx 1 year of regular use.

Industry standard, Used by professionals.

Made with high quality materials that produce a solid, tight feel when using.

As Accurate as you can expect a set of calipers to be.

They are made from quality materials, there are no cost cutting with the design and they feel smooth and precise with all the features you need. They are definitely tools that are sold through quality. My experiences with owning several of them are very positive, they do what they are designed to do and will last a long time if you look after them. All other brands get compared to them. This set being the most popular 6″ digital caliper available to date. Mitutoyo are considered the industry standard when it comes to measuring equipment.
