Mitutoyo 505-744 Dial Caliper 6 Inch Stainless Steel

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 505-744 is a 6-inch range dial caliper designed for precise dimensional measurement in tool rooms, machine shops, and field inspection applications. Built from stainless steel with a titanium nitride coating, it delivers 0.001-inch accuracy across its full measurement range. The dial face is white with gray case housing, and the instrument reads 0.2 inches per revolution of the dial, allowing quick, unambiguous readings. Carbide-tipped jaws resist wear during repeated use. The caliper ships in a fitted plastic case and carries a proprietary inspection certification. Machinists, quality inspectors, pipefitters, and precision tradespeople rely on this instrument for repeatable measurements.

The 505-744 handles four measurement modes: outside, inside, depth, and step measurement. The 1-9/16-inch jaw length accommodates a wide range of workpiece geometries. It is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where close-tolerance verification is required, including pipe fitting, HVAC component sizing, plumbing rough-in verification, and general precision inspection work. The sliding jaw adjustment provides smooth, consistent travel across the full 6-inch range.

Key Features

• 0.001-inch accuracy and 0.001-inch dial graduation for high-resolution readings
• 6-inch maximum measurement range covers common trade and shop applications
• Stainless steel body with titanium nitride coating for corrosion and wear resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dial caliper suitable for precision measurement tasks across machining, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications where 6-inch range and 0.001-inch resolution are required.

Installation Notes

Dial calipers require no installation, but calibration verification against a known standard is recommended before use in critical inspection work. Keep the measuring faces clean and free of debris before taking readings. Store in the supplied fitted case when not in use to protect the dial mechanism and jaw surfaces. Periodic function checks per your shop or jobsite quality control procedures are advised.
