8" Calipers | McMaster-Carr

The most precise and versatile calipers. Their LCD display gives instant measurements down to 0.0005”—no need to count graduations. Swap between inch and metric or set the position to zero, all with the press of a button. You don’t need to reset the zero point since they retain their position when turned off, also known as absolute (ABS) positioning.

Our calipers come with a signed certificate of inspection, so you can trust your measurements are accurate every time. Their precision-ground jaws glide up and down the body for a silky-smooth feel.

Mitutoyo—The go-to for machinists and engineers. Every part of these calipers is made within Mitutoyo's automated system and tested in-house in Japan. Their jaws are laser cut to exact dimensions for the most reliable measurements.

Starrett—Starrett calipers come packaged in their iconic wood or red plastic case, so you'll be able to spot them on the busiest of bench tops.

McMaster-Carr Approved—The performance of brand-name calipers without the cost.

With SPC Data Output—Send measurements to a computer or data processor to store, analyze, and manage data. You'll need a data cable or SPC wireless transmitter and receiver.

With SPC Data Output and Bluetooth Connection—Wirelessly send measurements to your smartphone and other Bluetooth devices to store, analyze, and manage data.

Calibration Certificate—Choose these calipers when precision measurements are required for quality control or by regulation. The certificate is traceable to NIST, so you can be confident your measurements are correct and consistent.

Carbide Jaw—Our longest-lasting jaws won't dull when pressed against extra-hard or abrasive surfaces, such as grinding wheels.

Dial Calipers

Watch the needle move as the jaws do for trustworthy measurements. To calculate your final measurement, simply add the decimal value on the dial to the number on the main scale. These calipers are battery-free, so they're always ready to use. However, the glass dial and internal components can break if accidentally dropped.

McMaster-Carr Approved—The performance of brand-name calipers without the cost.

Carbide Jaw—Our longest-lasting jaws won't dull when pressed against extra-hard or abrasive surfaces, such as grinding wheels.

Built-In Backlash Control—The needle stays steady even if the dial is bumped or vibrated for reliably accurate measurements.

Digital Calipers with Fractional Display

Convert measurements to fractions with the push of a button. These calipers measure in both decimals and fractions of an inch, so you don't need to memorize conversions. They're especially handy for carpentry and similar jobs that involve measurements down to _1/64".

With an LCD display, these calipers give instant measurements—no need to count graduations. Swap between inch and metric or set the position to zero, all with the press of a button.

Self-Locking Vernier Calipers

Prevent the jaws from creeping forward or backward as you measure. They move only when you press a button, then lock in place when you let go. The button falls naturally under your thumb, so you can operate these calipers comfortably with one hand.

These classic calipers use a sliding vernier scale. Just add the measurement from the main scale to the measurement on the vernier scale to get accurate readings as small as 0.001". Made completely out of metal, they won't break when dropped or short-circuit when wet. They're battery-free, so they're always ready to use.

Precision-Adjust Vernier Calipers
