Mitutoyo 112-237 Point Micrometer, Inch, Ratchet Stop, 30 Deg. Carbide-Tipped Points, 0-1" Range, 0.001" Graduations, +/-0.00015" Accuracy

The Mitutoyo 112-237 point micrometer is for measuring the web thickness of drills, small grooves, keyways, and other small areas that are difficult to reach. The micrometer has a measurement range of 0 to 1.0", graduations of 0.001", and an accuracy of + or - 0.00015". This model has a standard scale in inches. The anvil and spindle have 30-degree points and are carbide-tipped for durability. This gauge has a ratchet stop to help provide uniform pressure for precise, repeatable measurements. This model has a hammertone baked-enamel finish for durability. It comes with a fitted, plastic case.

Micrometers are precision measuring instruments that use a calibrated screw to measure distances. These measurements are translated into large rotations of the screw that are then able to be read from a scale or a dial. Micrometers are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering. There are three types of micrometer: outside, inside, and depth. Outside micrometers may also be called micrometer calipers, and are used to measure the length, width, or outside diameter of an object. Inside micrometers are typically used to measure interior diameter, as in a hole. Depth micrometers measure the height, or depth, of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot.

Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and related systems. The company, founded in Tokyo in 1934, formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963 with headquarters in Aurora, IL.
