Mitutoyo 505-740J Dial Caliper 6 Inch Stainless Steel

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 505-740J is a 6-inch range dial caliper designed for accurate dimensional measurement in trade and industrial applications. The dial reads in 0.001-inch graduations with 0.2 inches of travel per revolution, giving technicians fast, repeatable readings without the need for a digital display. The stainless steel body and jaw construction provide durability under shop-floor conditions. A titanium nitride coating on the sliding surfaces reduces wear and extends service life. The white dial face with gray case housing delivers high contrast and easy readability. Accuracy is rated at 0.001 inch across the full measurement range.

This caliper is suited for outside, inside, depth, and step measurements in a single tool. It is used in HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in verification, electrical conduit and fitting checks, and general mechanical trades where precise dimensional confirmation is required. The 1-9/16-inch jaw length accommodates a wide range of workpiece profiles. Each unit ships in a fitted plastic case for storage and transport protection. Installation of this tool requires no setup beyond zeroing the dial at the closed position before use.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring instrument. Before first use, close the jaws fully and zero the dial bezel to establish a reference point. Keep the sliding surfaces clean and lightly lubricated to maintain accuracy. Store the caliper in the supplied fitted case when not in use to protect the dial mechanism and jaw faces.
