Description

The Starrett 42-6 lock-joint hermaphrodite calliper with straight legs has a leg length of 6” (150 mm) but opens to approximately one-third larger than the leg length. The joint allows for tension adjustment, while the tension will not change if the legs move. Hermaphrodite callipers are used to scribe lines parallel to the workpiece edge, locating and testing centres and other layout work. Callipers measure the distance between two opposing sides of an object. They make inside, outside, depth or step measurements, according to their type. Callipers are commonly used in architecture, metalworking, mechanical engineering, machining, manufacturing, carpentry and medicine. The simplest callipers have two legs to mark the two points and require a ruler to take the measurement. More complex callipers use two sets of jaws instead of legs and have up to two graduated scales. Vernier, dial and digital callipers give direct and accurate readings and are functionally identical, having a calibrated scale with a fixed jaw and another jaw with a movable pointer that slides along the scale. The Vernier calliper has a scale sliding parallel to the main scale for an additional, fractional reading to improve measurement precision

Key Features

Convenient - After the legs have been set to approximate size and the joint locked, the final adjustment is made by a few turns of the knurled adjusting nut.

Labor Saving - Designed for toolmakers and all good mechanics who require finer adjustment and better balance so a more sensitive feel can be obtained. Actual measuring capacity is approximately one-third greater than the leg size.

Meets Strong Demands - Committed in providing customers with consistent and reliable solutions, Starrett has set the standard for precision, quality and innovation. Our products are long-lasting, robust with excellent service and performance.
