Calipers are an integral tool for many applications, yet they’re a tool that likely doesn’t garner much reflection. Whether you’ve been using them for years or are investing in them for the first time, here are the ins and outs of caliper design and use that you’ll want to keep in mind.

The need for long-range height measurements has been around since the principles of lay out work became a fundamental requirement in machine shops. 

From calipers to micrometers, to indicators and all manner of gages and metrology equipment, there are literally hundreds of standard off the shelf solutions for measuring the vast array of parts that manufacturers make.

A depth gage could be as simple as marks on a piece of tape, a line on a ruler, or tape on a drill. Fortunately, of course, modern gages take the guesswork out of measurement, providing a range of simple or high-tech options depending on the job.
