Precision scribing caliper (T‑head) 500 mm, 160 mm stop — Metav IndustryLine

The Precision scribing caliper (T‑head) 500 mm is a medium‑range layout instrument designed for precise marking and inspection tasks in toolmaking, fixture construction and general mechanical workshops.

• T‑head design for stable scribing and layout
• Fine adjustment for controlled, repeatable markings
• Hardened special steel with matt chrome finish

Stable layout and reproducible markings for production tasks

The T‑head format with a fixed 160 mm stop ensures stable contact when transferring datum lines or checking assembly interfaces, which reduces setup time and rework. The built‑in fine adjustment screw enables careful micro‑alignment of the scriber or jaw before committing a mark, so each setting is repeatable and reduces human error. With an analogue nonius scaled to 0.05 mm, the tool offers a clear, mechanical indication of position that is well suited to standard workshop quality control and layout work.

Durable construction that keeps wear and measurement drift low

Constructed from hardened special steel and finished in matt chrome, the instrument resists corrosion and abrasive wear while maintaining precise jaw geometry. The material choice and surface treatment protect the scale and sliding surfaces against everyday shop contaminants, which preserves accuracy and extends service intervals. Classified as a medium‑range caliper (measuring up to 500 mm), the design balances stiffness and reach to permit reliable measurements on assemblies and larger components without sacrificing handling.

Practical uses and workflow benefits across trades

The scribing caliper is tailored for workshop tasks where clear datum transfer and durable, mechanical operation are priorities: marking blanks, checking fixture references, and pre‑setting assembly contacts. The analogue operation requires no batteries and supports quick visual comparison during repetitive tasks, helping to maintain a steady throughput. Delivered in a transport case (plastic or wooden) for protection during transit, the tool is ready for immediate use on the bench or in a tooling cupboard.

FAQ

What is the measuring range and classification of this caliper?
The caliper covers 0–500 mm and is classified as a medium‑range precision instrument suitable for larger workshop layout and fixture work.

How fine is the reading and what accuracy can be expected?
The analogue nonius provides a resolution of 0.05 mm; this level of detail is appropriate for industrial workshop standards and repeatable layout tasks.

Is the instrument delivered ready for use and protected for transport?
Yes, the caliper is supplied in a transport case (plastic or wooden) and arrives ready for workshop use.

Which materials is the caliper suitable for when used as a scribing and layout tool?
The device is intended for workshop layout across common workshop materials; its hardened steel construction and finish ensure resistance to wear during routine marking and inspection tasks.

Does the caliper include any fine‑setting feature for precise marking?
A dedicated fine adjustment screw is fitted to enable controlled, repeatable positioning of the jaw prior to scribing or marking.
