The face of the Mitutoyo 530-109 Vernier caliper is angled at 14 degrees, making it easy to read and reducing the likelihood of measurement mistakes brought on by parallax. This contributes to the caliper’s high level of precision.
The raised scales on the caliper provide for easy sliding and promote an overall user-friendly experience. In addition, they safeguard the graduation marks, so extending their useful life and preserving the clarity of the markings over time.
The Mitutoyo 530-109 Vernier caliper is made from stainless steel that has been hardened, making it very long-lasting and resistant to corrosion. This ensures that it will continue to function reliably even under harsh conditions.
The Mitutoyo 530-109 caliper has a slick chrome surface, which prevents mistakes caused by light reflections and lowers glare, allowing for better sight and enabling for greater reading accuracy.
The Vernier caliper is available in versions that are based on the metric system, the inch system, and both systems combined, giving it the versatility to accommodate a variety of measuring systems and individual preferences.
Both the inch and metric/inch variants of the caliper include dual reading Vernier scales built in, which allows for exact measurements to be taken from both the main scale and the Vernier scale.
The Mitutoyo 530-109 caliper comes with carbide-tipped jaws as an optional upgrade that may be purchased for increased durability when measuring hard materials. This upgrade ensures accurate results and lasting usage.
The presence of a lock screw enables the sliding jaw to be firmly locked in place, so avoiding any movement that would throw off the precision of the measurements being taken.
The majority of versions of the Vernier caliper are packaged with a vinyl holster that allows for convenient storage and a custom-fitted plastic box that provides additional protection while being transported. The larger versions often come packaged in a robust cardboard or wooden container, making them easier to handle and more convenient to store.
