Groz01412 6" Spring Outside Caliper, Matte Finish, with Solid Nut

Exactly as described

This replaces a vintage set of outside calipers that were finally worn out after at least one lifetime of use before I got them.The Groz outside calipers feel very solid and works easily.First of all, the edges are all rounded -- it feels great in the hand, and no sharp edges. Metal is polished to a medium satin and the tool came covered in a nice coat of oil, so no rust. The adjustment nut knurling is sufficient for grip and not sharp - the screw itself is fine enough to get a snug slip-fit on parts (accuracy), the tension on the spring is firm but not overly tight. And the size is perfect for a shop apron pocket or just to live on the pegboard beside the lathe. Speaking of which, I might get another - one for the wood lathe, one for the metal lathe.very nice tool that should perform well and last.

I ordered this 4" pocket-sized caliper, based on the positive Amazon reviews. While it's a nice, compact size, and appears to be solidly manufactured, I'm bummed that the 2 points do not quite meet as 1, when closed. Isn't that the point?

Perfect for measuring consistent tenon size for peppermills.

To get 3 calipers at this price is a great deal. They aren't the highest quality but they work well. I like this type of caliper because you can drop them over a piece on the lathe while it's still spinning, no need to turn the machine on and off every few seconds. Just turned 18 spindles for some stools, ends needed to fit into 5/8ths hole snuggly. Set these to just a bit over 5/8ths and then used a dial type caliper to fine tune. Dial caliper really can't be used with machine on, don't know if it moves or not. Great item especially considering the price.

Everyone who uses calipers, knows that Starrett makes the best calipers. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and feel.

Always at hand on my husbands workbench and functions flawlessly.

Nice fit and finish to this caliper, sturdy and well made! I would buy these again if I needed another set!

I use it for wood turning, satisfied with my purchase but only need to file the tips since there were burrs but no big deal.

happy, good quality

Pleased w item.

Works as well as expected in my wood working shop
