Product Information

Full details

This Wiha 150mm Dial Caliper is designed for professionals and hobbyists needing precise metric measurements up to 150 mm. Its key benefit is the clear, almost parallax-free analogue display with a fine 0.1 mm graduation, ensuring accurate readings for outside, inside, and depth measurements. A potential caveat is its analogue nature, which requires a trained eye for reading the Vernier scale compared to digital alternatives.

FAQs

What is the measurement range of this caliper?

The caliper has a measurement range of 150 mm (or 15 cm).

What is the smallest measurement I can take with this caliper?

The caliper has a graduation of 0.1 mm, meaning it can measure to the nearest tenth of a millimeter.

Can this caliper measure inside dimensions?

Yes, this caliper is designed for outside, inside, and depth measurements.

How do I calibrate the dial to zero?

Close the jaws completely. If the dial pointer is not at zero, loosen the small screw on the dial housing and adjust the pointer to zero, then retighten the screw.

What material is the caliper made of?

The caliper is made from a non-metallic high-tech material with 50% fiber-glass content.

Is the dial display easy to read?

Yes, it features an almost parallax-free reading and a green Vernier scale for good contrast and simple readability.

What does it mean that the dial is impact resistant?

The dial mechanism is designed to withstand moderate impacts without breaking and can be recalibrated to zero if it gets knocked out of alignment.

Troubleshooting

Caliper not returning to zero

Ensure the jaws are completely closed. Check for any debris or obstructions between the jaws. If the issue persists, recalibrate the dial by adjusting the zeroing screw.

Stiff or jerky movement of the slider

Clean the guideway and the slider with a soft cloth. Apply a very small amount of light machine oil to the guideway if necessary, then move the slider back and forth to distribute the oil. Wipe off any excess.

Difficulty reading measurements

Ensure you are viewing the dial and Vernier scale directly to avoid parallax error. Confirm the scale is clean. For inch readings, ensure you are referencing the correct part of the Vernier scale.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers high precision with 0.1 mm graduations.
  • Durable construction with an impact-resistant dial.
  • Versatile for inside, outside, and depth measurements.
  • Clear and easy-to-read analogue display.
  • Good value for a precise measuring tool.

Cons

  • Requires manual reading of the Vernier scale, which can be less intuitive than digital displays.
  • Analogue display may be susceptible to shock damage if dropped.
  • No data output or connectivity features.
  • Accuracy depends on user's skill in reading the scales.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the caliper from its protective packaging.
  2. Zeroing: Close the jaws completely. If the pointer on the dial is not at zero, use the small screw on the dial housing to adjust it to zero. For depth measurements, ensure the depth rod is flush with the bottom jaw when the jaws are closed.

Compatibility:

  • This caliper is designed for standard metric measurements.
  • It is compatible with standard workshop practices and environments.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the caliper with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and oils. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasives.
  • Storage: Store the caliper in its original case or a protective pouch to prevent scratches and damage. Ensure it is kept in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the jaws for debris. Ensure the slide moves smoothly. If the dial needs recalibration, follow the zeroing steps.
