Key Features & Benefits
- 0.02mm vernier graduation — read to two-hundredths on a clearly etched scale; no battery required, no display to fade out.
- Stain-chrome plated reading surface — the matt chrome finish eliminates glare and keeps the scale readable under shop lighting, unlike polished chrome that reflects overhead lights.
- Dual metric / imperial scales — metric vernier on the main beam, imperial vernier on the opposite face; switch measurement systems without conversion.
- Stainless-steel construction — resists corrosion from coolant and shop handling; holds accuracy over years of workshop use.
- DIN862 compliant — built to the European standard for precision calipers, with certified accuracy at ±0.03mm across the full range.
- Locking screw & fine-adjust thumb wheel — lock the slider at a dimension for transfer, or fine-tune with the thumb wheel for critical readings.
When to Use the AC-120-006-12
Reach for the AC-120 vernier caliper when you want precision without batteries — apprentice training (reading a vernier is a core trade skill), critical bench inspection where a dead display could halt work, or heavy workshop use where the simplicity of a mechanical scale outlasts digital electronics. For fastest reading on production work, step up to the Accud AC-111 digital caliper; for non-marking work on finished surfaces, see the AC-117 plastic caliper.
Pro Tip: When reading a vernier, line your eye square to the scale — parallax error from a sideways view is the most common cause of a 0.02mm misread. The line that matches across both scales is your reading; don’t pick the closest-looking line. Practice on known gauge blocks to calibrate your reading technique.
