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 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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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!

5) Submitted by Arvid Podsim, from Spring, TX on 11/24/2009 Customer Rating: This instrument provides very good value and highly accurate. In woodworking, the high degree of resolution (1/128ths Inch) is generally not required. As noted by Loren A. review, the frequent display changes does result in frustration in obtaining a reading. A light touch of the jaw will often result in change in display. I find myself first using my old dial indicator calipers first and the Fractional Digital Calipers in those rare instances were greater accuracy and resolution is desired. In my opinion the instrument could be improved by addition of a button to either reduce the display resolution or refresh rate without affecting display accuracy.

6) Submitted by Todd McDonald, from Omaha, NE on 10/24/2009 Customer Rating: Another great product and value offered by Rockler. Seriously, I order on Monday and have it my door on Wednesday. Very nice auto-off feature that saves batteries.

7) Submitted by Bruce Wedlock, from North Reading, MA on 4/8/2009 Customer Rating: I had a decimal caliper, but now wanted a fractional one. This unit has two great features. When you pick it up to measure, you don't have to reset it to zero, and if you want to switch between decimal and fractional for a measurement, just push the selection button and the change is displayed. Very helpful for scaling plans from photographs.
