CALIPERS AND DIVIDERS ARE NOT ALL THE SAME

Calipers and dividers may look similar but there are many

differences between brands.

To get good quality at a fair price check the following
features for wing dividers, spring dividers, and firm joint and spring
calipers.

·
Rugged legs

·
Box type hinge joint

·
Hardened points – to ensure the points will have
long wear life because hardened steel is a high performing material.

·
Sizes available should be 6”, 8”, 12”, 18” and
24”

WING DIVIDER

Rigidity is the key feature achieved by:

·
Strong spring

·
Properly made, large diameter fulcrum nut to
stop side movement of legs.

·
Legs of sufficient thickness to enhance rigidity
of the tool

·
Smooth finish on points to ensure tool performs
correctly.

·
Measuring range of spring tools is the stated
leg length range.

·
Size range-3”, 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, 18” 24”
36”.

OUTSIDE & INSIDE FIRM JOINT CALIPERS

Rigidity is the key feature achieved by:

·
Securely made hinge joint and well-proportioned
legs

·
Smoothly made measuring contacts.

·
Measuring range is much larger than size of leg
length. The outside calipers will
measure approximately 25%-30% larger diameter than leg length.

·
Size range are 6”, 8”, 12”, 18”, 24”, 30”, 42”
and 60” although larger sizes can be available.
