FAQs
What is the primary function of the divider calliper?
The divider calliper is used for transferring measurements, dividing distances, and marking off equal segments.
How do I ensure accurate measurements with the external calliper?
Make sure the calliper is perpendicular to the object being measured and that the points are in full contact with the surface. Tighten the adjustment screw gently until the points touch the surface, then read the measurement from a ruler or tape.
What should I do if the callipers get wet?
Dry them immediately with a clean cloth. Apply a thin coat of oil to prevent rust.
Can these callipers be used for measuring depths?
No, this set is designed for measuring inside and outside diameters only.
How should I store the callipers?
Store them in a dry place, ideally in a toolbox or a protective case to prevent damage and corrosion.
What is the purpose of the self-seated washer?
The self-seated washer ensures quick and accurate measurements by providing a stable and reliable point of contact for the adjustment screw.
Troubleshooting
Calliper measurements are inconsistent.
Check the calliper points for any damage or wear. Ensure the adjustment screw is properly tightened without being overtightened. Recalibrate if needed using a known standard.
Adjustment screw is difficult to turn.
Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the screw and threads. Clean any debris that may be obstructing the mechanism.
