.001 MICROMETER - Fowler High Precision

The Fowler High Precision 52-253-001-1 .001 Micrometer is an essential tool for professional technicians and machinists requiring accurate and repeatable measurements in automotive and industrial settings. Engineered for precision and durability, this outside micrometer provides reliable readings for critical dimensions, ensuring components meet exact specifications. Its robust construction and user-friendly features make it an indispensable instrument for quality control and precision measurement tasks.

Key Features

• Exceptional Durability: Features a hammertone blue baked enamel finish for corrosion resistance and a long-lasting aesthetic. The anvil and spindle are hardened, precision ground, and finished with a microlap for superior wear resistance.
• High-Precision Measuring Faces: Equipped with carbide-tipped measuring faces, which resist wear and maintain sharpness for extended periods, ensuring consistent and accurate contact with workpieces.
• Consistent Measurement Control: The friction stop thimble helps apply a uniform amount of torque, leading to exact and repetitive readings across multiple measurements and users, preventing over-tightening.
• Clear and Reliable Readings: Microfine graduations on a satin chrome finish minimize glare, allowing for easy and accurate interpretation of measurements.
• Secure Locking Mechanism: A positive lever locking clamp ensures that measurements are held securely once taken, preventing accidental movement and preserving accuracy.
• Federal Specification Compliance: This micrometer meets or exceeds U.S. Federal specifications for accuracy, guaranteeing a professional-grade instrument.
