Why choose this product

Precision Engineering for Indian Trades

VINCA calipers are built for accuracy. This model's stainless steel body, high-precision glass scale, and ±0.001"/0.03mm accuracy ensure your measurements are spot-on for intricate work. The IP54 rating means it can handle the humidity and dust common in Indian workshops, unlike many basic calipers. Its smooth operation and large LCD make it user-friendly for both seasoned professionals and hobbyists.

Who Should Choose This Caliper & Who Should Consider Alternatives

This caliper is perfect for machinists, engineers, DIY enthusiasts, jewelers, and anyone needing precise measurements in potentially dusty or humid conditions. If you require extreme laboratory-grade accuracy or need to measure extremely small internal/external dimensions beyond 8 inches, consider specialized metrology equipment. For simple, occasional household measurements without environmental concerns, a basic plastic caliper might suffice, but this VINCA offers superior durability and features.

How to use

Prepare the Caliper — Ensure the caliper is clean and dry. Slide the jaws open and closed to check for smooth movement. Insert the included LR44 battery if not already installed, observing correct polarity.
Select Measurement Mode — Press the 'ABS' button to zero the display. Use the 'IN/MM' button to select your desired unit (inches, millimeters, or fractions). Press 'ZERO' to set the current jaw position as the zero point.
Take Measurements — Gently place the jaws around or inside the object to be measured. Slide the jaws until they lightly contact the surface. Read the measurement displayed on the large LCD screen.
Data Transfer & Storage — For PC data transfer, connect the RS232 port using the VINCA DTCR-03 cable (sold separately). When finished, carefully clean and store the caliper in its protective case to maintain accuracy.
