Mitutoyo 145-194 Caliper-Type Inside Micrometer, 1-2 in - Anvil Jaw, 0.001 in Graduation

The Mitutoyo 145-194 is a caliper-type inside micrometer from Series 145, built for direct measurement of internal diameters, groove widths and other inside dimensions from 1-2 in. Unlike a tubular inside micrometer, the caliper jaws reach into features that a straight rod cannot, and this model is fitted with anvil jaws to suit bores, bosses, slots and other internal diameters across its range.

Both measuring faces are carbide tipped, so they hold their geometry through heavy shop-floor use. A constant measuring-force device applies the same force on every reading, which is what keeps results repeatable between operators rather than depending on feel. A locking clamp holds the spindle so the micrometer can be withdrawn from the bore and read without the setting shifting, and the satin-chrome finish on the thimble and sleeve cuts glare under shop lighting.

The thimble is graduated in 0.001 in and the instrument is accurate to +/-0.0003 in across its range. With no battery or electronics there is nothing to fail or discharge, which makes the analogue models a practical choice for tool cribs, gauge rooms and anywhere the instrument sits unused for long stretches between jobs.
