Mitutoyo 968-203 Bevel Protractor 6 Inch Blade

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 968-203 is a universal bevel protractor with a square head design, built for precise angular measurement in fabrication, machining, and layout work. The 6-inch blade pairs with a graduated dial that reads in 1-degree increments across a full 0-180 degree range, with a bidirectional scale reading of 0-180-0 for direct measurement from either direction. The square head provides a stable reference surface against workpieces or machine components. This instrument is used by machinists, tool and die makers, sheet metal fabricators, and precision layout technicians who need repeatable angle verification without conversion or estimation.

The 968-203 is suited for shop-floor and inspection use where angular layout, part verification, and surface angle measurement are part of the regular workflow. Typical applications include checking miter angles, verifying bevel cuts, laying out compound angles on flat stock, and confirming angular tolerances on machined components. The square head style is a common choice in general-purpose precision layout environments where a flat, rigid reference edge is required.

Key Features

• 1-degree dial graduation for direct angular readout without interpolation
• Full 0-180 degree measurement range with bidirectional 0-180-0 scale
• 6-inch blade length for spanning larger workpieces and layout surfaces
• Square head design provides a stable, flat reference surface for consistent contact
• Compact and lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy bench or field use

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use precision measuring instrument; compatible with standard layout and inspection workflows requiring angular measurement up to 180 degrees with a square-head bevel protractor.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand-held measuring instrument. Before use, verify that the blade and head reference surfaces are clean and free of burrs or debris that could affect angular accuracy. Store the protractor in its case when not in use to protect the blade and dial mechanism from damage.
