Mitutoyo 968-202 Round Head Protractor 6 Inch Blade

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 968-202 is a round head protractor designed for precise angle measurement in trade and industrial applications. The round head style pairs with a 6-inch blade to deliver angular readings across a full 0-180 degree range. Dial graduation is 1 degree, allowing consistent, repeatable readings on layout and fabrication work. The instrument is suited for machinists, pipefitters, fabricators, and quality-control technicians who need a reliable mechanical protractor for shop floor or field use.

This protractor is appropriate for use in metal fabrication shops, machine shops, HVAC duct fabrication, and pipefitting layout work. The 6-inch blade length accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes encountered in residential and light commercial mechanical work. The dual dial range of 0-180 and 0-180-0 supports both single-direction and bidirectional angle reading, making it adaptable to common layout tasks without recalculating reference angles.

Key Features

• Round head design with 6-inch blade for angular layout and inspection tasks
• Dial range of 0-180 and 0-180-0 for bidirectional angle reading
• 1-degree dial graduation for clear, consistent readings
• Compact profile: approximately 8 inches long, 3 inches wide, 0.5 inches tall
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds for easy one-hand use at a workbench or on site

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round head protractor replacement or addition suitable for general mechanical layout and angle measurement applications in fabrication and trade service environments.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring instrument. Technicians should zero the dial against a known reference surface before taking measurements to confirm calibration. Keep the blade and pivot mechanism free of chips, burrs, and cutting fluid to maintain accuracy. Store in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the dial face and blade edge.
