Electronic digital calipers with LCD display – switch easily between imperial and metric units. Features inch to mm conversion button and a smooth thumbwheel for precise, easy measurements. Measure inside and outside diameters with ease.
These calipers are the perfect tool if you’ve forgotten to order bushings or can’t find them. Simply measure the outside diameter of your kit parts – nib, center band, finial, or end cap – then turn your blank to those exact measurements. Check your progress with the calipers and finish with sanding for perfect results.
Ideal for pen turning, woodworking, and precision projects. Also great for checking worn bushings or replacing missing ones.
Look for the bushing measurements on the kit instructions. If those aren't available, use your calipers to measure the outside diameter of the kit parts that will come into contact with your turned barrel, like the nib, centre band, finial or end cap.
Turn your blank down to those outside diameters and use your calipers to measure your progress as you go to make sure you don't take off too much material.
Stop with the chisel when you're approaching the outside diameters and switch to sanding.
