Spi MS170831020 Caliper Base Stainless Steel

Product Description

The SPI MS170831020 is a stainless steel caliper base designed to support and stabilize calipers during measurement tasks. This single-piece accessory provides a stable platform for setting or holding calipers in position, reducing measurement error in precision layout and inspection work. Constructed from bright, uncoated stainless steel, it offers corrosion resistance and durability in shop environments. Measuring 6 inches in length, 3.5 inches in width, and 1.2 inches in height, it offers a compact footprint suitable for benchtop use. Weighing 0.25 pounds, it is lightweight enough to position and reposition without disrupting a workflow.

This caliper base is suited for machine shops, quality control stations, and tool rooms where calipers need to be held steady for repeated measurements or comparisons. It is used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and quality assurance personnel working with standard vernier, dial, or digital calipers. The base is well-suited for both production floor use and inspection bench setups where consistent caliper positioning is required.

Installation Notes

No power source or fastening is required for basic benchtop use. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat before placing the base to maintain measurement accuracy. If securing the base to a surface is needed, verify the mounting method does not introduce flex or misalignment. This accessory is typically set up by machinists or QC technicians without specialized tools.
