With curved measuring legs and an adjustable screw mechanism, they allow controlled external measurement checks on larger components and workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• KEY POINTS •\u003cbr\u003e[6\" external calipers]\u003cbr\u003e[Maximum extension: 180mm]\u003cbr\u003e[Curved tips for external measuring]\u003cbr\u003e[Adjustable screw for controlled spacing]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• MORE INFO •\u003cbr\u003eDesigned for measuring outside dimensions, these external calipers are useful for checking the outer diameter of rings, tubing, bezels, settings, rods, mandrels, and fabricated components. The curved legs allow the tool to measure around the outside of a workpiece, while the adjustment screw helps hold the selected measurement for comparison or transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6\" size provides a larger working range than smaller external calipers, making it useful for broader workshop tasks, larger jewellery components, forming tools, mandrels, hollowware, and metalworking applications where external measurements need to be checked or transferred accurately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS •\u003cbr\u003e[Product type: external calipers]\u003cbr\u003e[Size: 6\"]\u003cbr\u003e[Maximum extension: 180mm]\u003cbr\u003e[Material: steel]\u003cbr\u003e[Adjustment: screw-adjustable]\u003cbr\u003e[Use: external measuring, checking outside diameters, spacing, and measurement transfer]\u003cbr\u003e[Suitable applications: jewellery making, metalworking, model making, fabrication, and general workshop use]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• USAGE \u0026amp; APPLICATIONS •\u003cbr\u003ePerfect for jewellers, students, hobbyists, metalsmiths, and workshop users requiring a larger tool for external measurement checks. Use the external calipers to measure ring exteriors, tube diameters, bezel outsides, wire, rods, small mandrels, forming tools, and fabricated parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese calipers are especially useful for checking fit, comparing outside dimensions, transferring measurements, and confirming spacing before cutting, soldering, drilling, forming, or adjusting components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• CARE \u0026amp; SAFETY •\u003cbr\u003eUse controlled pressure and avoid forcing the tips against delicate or finished components. Keep the calipers clean and dry after use, and wipe away filings, dust, or polishing compound before measuring. Store safely when not in use to protect the tips and prevent bending. Eye protection is recommended when marking, drilling, sawing, or working with metal components.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ore Metals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376185917602,"sku":"4T178B","price":33.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/5494\/6722\/files\/172_7723c061-b863-454e-af68-af2eafda7747.jpg?v=1782909230","url":"https:\/\/ore-metals.com\/da\/products\/external-calipers-6","provider":"Ore Metals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
