Mitutoyo 500-197-30 Digital ABS AOS Caliper Thumb R. without Output

expensive but good quality

These are genuine mitutoyo calipers, there's not really much more to say about them. They work perfectly, they measure perfectly, the battery lasts forever and the absolute measurement means you never need to zero the calipers. Yes, these are expensive, significantly more expensive than the 150mm version but that extra 50mm over a 'standard' caliper makes a big difference - many times I've maxed out a standard caliper, the 200mm range is well worth having. Whilst cheap digital calipers are generally very good, they can be a bit hit and miss. Measurements with cheap calipers are typically very good, but they don't always run smoothly or can have points where the measurement skips, the steel isn't as hard as quality calipers and the grind of the faces isn't as good. The Mitutoyos of course exhibit none of these issues, they are incredibly smooth across the entire range, the steel is exceptional and the grinding is perfect. It doesn't matter how fast you open/close the calipers, it will never miss a step, and zero is always exactly zero. This model is not coolant proof, so not good for machinists, but they are perfect for engineers working at a desk or clean environment. Mitutoyo do of course have the coolant proof/waterproof version for use in a machine shop.

I have been using Mitutoyo callipers for over 45 years and I have become accustomed to their accuracy and reliability. This purchase was to upgrade to a digital display. The calliper is everything I expected; easy to use, clear display and spot on accuracy checked against a micrometer. A resolution of 0.01mm is better than general engineering expectations and heading well into the toolmaking world. Mitutoyo have retained four measurement types; external, internal, step and depth with knife edges on the external and internal jaws. The callipers from 40 years ago used a toothed rack as a measuring element but conversion to digital measuring system has removed this weak point making the instrument more robust and reliable. The instrument case has been upgraded and is now made from a robust plastic and able to protect the calliper when not in use.

I was a little worried about other views having received fake items, however, no issue with mine, 100% genuine. No battery in the unit (which is how they should come), genuine battery and matching code, rather than cheaper option. All paperwork is original and all code and barcodes etc. match. I use these a lot and am 100% sure this is a genuine article. Too quality product, solid build, very accurate.

Magnifico calibre, es un buen aparato, si quieres calidad este es tu calibre. Tengo dos y funcionan perfectos.

Fake. Those of you who know how to spot a fake will see it.

I recently acquired the Mitutoyo 500-197-30 Advanced Onsite Sensor (AOS) Absolute Scale Digital Caliper and have been impressed with its precision and reliability. This digital caliper stands out for its advanced features and accuracy in measurements. Here's a detailed review based on my experience: Key Features: Advanced Onsite Sensor (AOS) Technology: The AOS technology in the Mitutoyo 500-197-30 ensures an enhanced measurement experience. It allows for quick and accurate measurements by eliminating the need to set the reference point each time the caliper is powered on. Absolute Scale System: The Absolute Scale System ensures that the caliper retains its zero-point origin, even after powering off. This feature eliminates the need to recalibrate the caliper, saving time and ensuring consistent accuracy. Large LCD Display: The large LCD display provides clear and easy-to-read measurements. The digital readout ensures precision in readings, and the screen is well-lit for visibility in various lighting conditions. Stainless Steel Construction: The caliper is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. This robust construction contributes to the longevity of the caliper, making it suitable for long-term use. Smooth Slider Movement: The slider movement is smooth and precise, allowing for easy and accurate measurements. The well-designed slider ensures that measurements can be taken smoothly without any play or deviation. Metric and Inch Conversion: The ability to easily switch between metric and inch units adds to the caliper's versatility, accommodating different measurement preferences and requirements. Thumb Roller for Fine Adjustment: The inclusion of a thumb roller allows for fine adjustments when measuring, providing users with precise control for accurate readings. Considerations: Battery Life: While the battery life is generally good, some users may prefer a longer-lasting battery for extended periods of use. However, the efficient power usage ensures that the battery life remains satisfactory for most applications. Protective Case Quality: The protective case provided with the caliper, while functional, may not be as durable or protective as some users might expect. Users should handle the case with care to ensure its longevity. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Mitutoyo 500-197-30 Advanced Onsite Sensor (AOS) Absolute Scale Digital Caliper delivers on its promise of precision and reliability. The advanced sensor technology, absolute scale system, large LCD display, and durable construction make it a valuable tool for precise measurements. I highly recommend the Mitutoyo 500-197-30 to professionals and enthusiasts who require accurate and consistent measurements in various applications.

Excelente producto y de muy buena calidad.
