Mitutoyo 102-708 Mechanical Outside Micrometer 0.001 in

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 102-708 is a mechanical outside micrometer designed for precise linear measurement in trade and industrial applications. It features a 0.001-inch graduation for fine measurement resolution and a solid carbide anvil and measuring face for long-term durability against wear. The ratchet stop thimble delivers consistent measuring force, reducing operator-to-operator variation. A heat-insulating frame minimizes dimensional error caused by hand heat transfer during extended use. This tool is used by machinists, pipefitters, and precision-trade professionals who require repeatable outside diameter or thickness measurements on metal stock, fittings, and components.

The 102-708 suits precision measurement tasks in residential and commercial trade shops, fabrication environments, and field service situations where part dimensions must be verified before or after machining, cutting, or fitting. The 30.00 mm throat depth accommodates a range of workpiece geometries. The 6.35 mm spindle diameter is standard for this class of outside micrometer. The unit ships in a plastic case for storage and jobsite transport. It is appropriate for any application requiring certified dimensional inspection with a proprietary inspection certification included.

Key Features

• 0.001-inch graduation for fine, repeatable linear measurement
• Solid carbide anvil and measuring face resist wear on hardened workpieces
• Ratchet stop thimble delivers consistent measuring force across operators
• Heat-insulating frame reduces thermal expansion error during hand-held use
• 30.00 mm throat depth accommodates a range of workpiece profiles
• Includes plastic case for protection and storage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard mechanical outside micrometer for general outside-diameter and thickness measurement in precision trade and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Outside micrometers require no installation but should be calibrated against a known standard before each measurement session. Store the tool with a small gap between the anvil and spindle to prevent set in the measuring faces. Keep the instrument clean and free of chips or coolant before use. Handle with care to avoid dropping, which can affect calibration and frame alignment.
