One leg is a standard caliper leg while the other terminates in a scriber point, allowing the tool to locate center points, scribe lines parallel to an edge, or transfer measurements from a reference surface. The firm joint maintains the set position under working load, and the knurled nut allows for precise leg adjustment. The tool is constructed from steel with a polished finish. It is a hand-measurement tool used by machinists, pipefitters, and fabricators on the bench or in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis caliper is suited for layout tasks in machine shops, fabrication shops, and industrial maintenance environments. Common applications include scribing a line at a consistent offset from a workpiece edge, stepping off measurements, and locating shaft centers. The 8-inch maximum measurement capacity and round leg profile make it practical for both flat-stock and curved-surface work. It is a standard bench tool found in trade and industrial settings wherever precision hand layout is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFirm joint design holds set position under working load without slipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled nut adjustment for controlled, repeatable leg spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch leg length with 8-inch maximum measurement capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound leg profile suitable for flat stock and curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with polished finish for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHermaphrodite configuration for scribing, center-finding, and edge-offset layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard hermaphrodite caliper for general layout and scribing applications in metalworking, fabrication, and industrial maintenance.

Before use, inspect the scriber point and caliper leg for damage that could affect measurement accuracy. Adjust leg spacing using the knurled nut and verify the set measurement against a rule before scribing. Store in a dry location to protect the polished steel finish from corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeg Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Measurement Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 inches (200 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Knurled Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Firm Joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeg Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Round\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 51143\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543787667762,"sku":"51143","price":105.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1f59a1508c46293533ef376a44b815bb.jpg?v=1785921814","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-51143-hermaphrodite-caliper-6-inch-leg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
