6'' and 4'' Fractional Digital Calipers

When it comes to measuring stock, fitting precise joints and setting up machines, a digital caliper is one of the handiest tools to have around. Both of these models read in convenient fractions so you don’t have to memorize decimal equivalents or make conversions in your head. Unlike most fractional calipers, which read in 1/64ths, these read in 1/128ths for maximum precision. Best of all, you can switch from fractions to decimals to millimeters with just the push of a button. Ultra-smooth sliding action allows you to dial in your setting quickly, then lock it down with the knurled knob. Measure inside, outside, depth and steps. Both calipers include a pre- installed battery, a spare battery and a padded plastic case. Aside from length, the 4" and 6" models are identical.

1) Submitted by Phil Brooks, from Lynn, MA on 12/6/2009 Customer Rating: I have used this caliper to measure diameters of turned round stock in addition to depth of grooves made with dado blades on my shopsmith table saw system. This tool is a great addition to my shop.

2) Submitted by Harold Lang, from Aviston, IL on 11/19/2009 Customer Rating: Have used the caliper for checking the location, and depth of dado grooves on a large project that required very close tolerances.

3) Submitted by Mike Hassett, from Davidsonville, MD on 11/10/2009 Customer Rating: Very usefull tool. My only complaint is that the battery was DOA...good thing they give you a spare.

4) Submitted by Jerry R. Gould, from St. Petersburg, FL on 11/10/2009 Customer Rating: The product I received was greater than what I expected for the price I paid. An excellent bargain. The six inch caliper feels heafty in my hands. Easy to use, extreamly accurate, (when measured against known objects such as brass bars used for shop machine set-up) these calipers measured dead-on the same in decimal (3 places) as well as fractional. The slide is snug (no sloppy play) but moves easily and positively. The ability to measure 1/128" is a bonus when working with metal. Any woodworker who needs (or wants) a fractional caliper - this is the one. Could not be more pleased with this quality product. But then I expect no less from Rockler.

5) Submitted by J Smith, from Chicago, IL on 12/6/2009 Customer Rating: I am surprised that none of the reviews have mentioned that the calipers are made entirely of plastic. I would rate this product as a good value due to the price, it is inexpensive. I was expecting mostly plastic construction with key parts being metal. The installed battery worked straight out of the box.

6) Submitted by Mike Lomenick, from Pahrump, NV on 11/5/2009 Customer Rating: This is one of the better digital calipers I have purchased over the years and a lot less expensive and very accurate, as always, Rockler has provided us woodworkers with another great product!

7) Submitted by Kevin, from Sammamish, WA on 12/9/2009 Customer Rating: Seemed to work well, but does change it's mind on the exact measurement while using it. Might be better if you could somehow calibrate the level of detail you want. Also, the On/Off switch seems to be sensitive as I've found it on for extended periods.
