Mitutoyo 505-732 Dial Caliper, 1 mm per Rev, 0-150 mm Range, 0.01 mm Accuracy, 11 Inches & Above

Absolutely love Mitutoyo products. They are always high quality. These calipers are no exception. They work as advertised, are as smooth as you'd expect from Mitutoyo, and are as accurate as you'd expect. They are unfortunately metric, which frankly sucks for machining, but I needed a metric set for a specific job and these did the trick. Since Brown & Sharp no longer makes their calipers in Switzerland, all of my future caliper purchases will be Japanese made Mitutoyo's.

The Mitutoyo 505-732 is beautifully made and precise. The finish is excellent. The way it fits together is perfect.One complete revolution of the dial pointer is 1mm. Most metric dial calipers are modified imperial calipers - since 1 inch = 25.4 mm they tweak the design so that 1 complete revolution is equal to 2mm. This means you may have to add 1mm to what you see on the linear scale. There is absolutely no confusion with the Mitutoyo - you look at the linear scale and add what is on the dial. The precision with which the caliper is made translates into more accurate readings.Although the Mitutoyo 505-732 costs about 4 times as much as a badly made and inaccurate look-alike caliper, it is well worth the investment. Recommended for all applications requiring consistent accuracy and longevity.

Caliper came in pristine condition, and just as accurate as you would expect from a mitutoyo product. Extremely well made, and accurate, Highly recommend!

Use it several times a week for CNC, this thing is silky smooth, it's what you would expect from Mitutoyo. Without say, the company had my measuring tools tested and this passed.

Premium feel, easy to read and should last just short of forever. It's exactly what I would expect from Mitutoyo and why they are my safe bet for dependable measurement instruments. Good tools make tasks easier.

Good deal at $83 but can’t justify over $40 Anytime Tools caliper with mm and in. The Mitutoyo also has a plastic thumb pusher thing and stopper at the end whereas Anytime is all metal. I like the flexibility of having mm and in. Measurements are very similar across them from tests. 0.01 mm on the Mitutoyo vs 0.02 mm on Anytime is better and easier to read. Both slide smoothly. I like Japanese made Mitutoyo and respect the brand. Tough call but I’m going to keep the Anytime and hope it holds up well. For my hobbyist purposes, I think it’ll be good enough.

I've had numerous calipers over the years ranging from cheap stamped metal to digital to traditional quality analog. I love this Mitutoyo because it is very fine quality, easy to read and analog (doesn't need batteries). Also, I work in metric when I can (sometimes it's not practical, ugh), so I really like that this is a metric caliper. This was a purchase for my home shop, but I also have a larger custom furniture shop, and I'm getting a set of these for that shop, too.Finally, these are truly value for the money. There are more expensive ones out there, and definitely less expensive ones. But these hit the sweet spot for being excellent professional quality, at a reasonable cost.Very satisfied with all aspects of these calipers!

I use it all the time
