A brass sliding caliper for the measurements that matter around delicate work: ring and bezel inside diameters, watch components, gem and bead sizes. The notched jaws are shaped specifically for inside-diameter readings, and because the body is solid brass it is non-magnetic — safe around watch movements — and will not scratch what it touches.

Dual metric and imperial scales are clearly etched along the 100 mm / 4 inch body, and a knurled brass thumbscrew locks the sliding jaw so a measurement can be carried across the workshop without drifting. A simple, robust gauge with no battery to fail at the wrong moment.

  • Solid brass construction prevents magnetising watch movements or scratching delicate workpieces.
  • Notched jaws are specifically shaped for taking accurate inside-diameter measurements.
  • Dual metric and imperial scales are clearly etched onto the body for easy reading.
  • A knurled brass thumbscrew locks the sliding jaw securely for transferring measurements.
  • Provides a full measuring range of 100mm / 4 inches for common bench tasks.

Common questions at the bench

How do I take a measurement?
Close the jaws gently on the work so they just touch it, without squeezing, and keep the work square between them. Lock the sliding jaw with the thumbscrew, then read the scale. Check the jaws read zero when fully closed before you rely on a reading.
How do I measure inside a ring or bezel?
Use the notched jaws, which its description says are shaped for inside measurements. Set them inside the ring or bezel, open them until they just touch the inside across its widest point, lock the thumbscrew and read the scale.
Can I use it near a watch movement?
Its description says it is solid brass, which is not magnetic, so unlike a magnetised steel tool it will not magnetise a movement.
How should I look after it?
Wipe it clean and keep the jaws free of grit, which stops them closing fully and spoils the reading. Store it dry, and do not use the jaws as a scriber or a lever.
