Engineers know that you can t control what you can t measure. That s why before starting your work make sure you are properly tooled up. Gages measure height width angle radius thickness and other specific dimensions on parts. Precision hand tools a010170brand.

4 5 out of 5 stars 50. In general a precise measuring tool is one that can measure values in very small increments. Precision measuring tools a010120producttitle. Starrett precision hand tools have been the standard for high quality dimensional measuring tools since 1880.

Through advanced technology we empower resources to invent better tools for more accurate and precise measurements. Free shipping on your first order shipped by amazon. For example a standard ruler can measure length to the nearest millimeter while a caliper can measure length to the nearest 0 01 millimeter. Meanwhile our squares protractors and marking tools bring precise angle and position measurement to diy builders mechanics machinists hobbyists.

Tools to measure length have been existing from the beginning of humanity. An important factor in the accuracy and precision of measurements involves the precision of the measuring tool. When you replace rigid wood or metal with either thin flexible metal or fabric you have a ruler that you can use to measure curved shapes. Slide calipers provide large measurement range flexibility and accuracy up to 0 001.

Depending on the project you may need different precision measuring tools including vemier calipers outside calipers micrometers dial indicators laser distance finders and many more. Micrometers measure extremely short distances such as the thickness of a piece of sheet metal. In many cases the right measuring tools are half the battle.

People utilized fingers to measure short length and steps to measure farther length. The ruler a flat length of wood or metal graduated in traditional english units metric units or both is the most basic tool for measuring length typical rulers are either 1 foot or 1 yard in length.
