Description
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 500-505-10 is a heavy-duty, large-scale Digimatic Caliper, engineered for measuring substantial workpieces that standard 150mm calipers simply cannot handle.
- Massive Capacity: With a sprawling 450mm (approx. 18″) measuring range (max 498mm), this tool is an absolute must-have for inspecting large automotive components, heavy machinery parts, engine blocks, and wide plate stock.
- Absolute Encoder Technology: Powered by Mitutoyo’s legendary Absolute (ABS) linear scale. This means the caliper “remembers” its zero point even after being powered off. You can turn it on and immediately start measuring without needing to reset the origin, completely eliminating over-speed errors during rapid jaw movements.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with a wider, thicker hardened stainless steel beam than standard pocket calipers. This robust design minimizes flex and deflection when the jaws are fully extended to 450mm, ensuring your measurements remain dead-on across the entire span.
- Flawless Readout: The high-contrast digital LCD eliminates the squinting and parallax errors associated with reading traditional large-scale vernier calipers.
Condition
Used (Exceptionally Well-Preserved / Original Box).
These large-scale calipers are in beautiful, lightly used condition.
- The Tool: The instrument itself presents exceptionally clean. It has clearly been treated with the utmost respect, showing pristine measuring faces, smooth sliding action, and practically zero signs of shop-floor use.
- The Packaging: It comes safely housed in its original Mitutoyo storage box. While the outside of the box shows some dirt and visual shelf wear from sitting in a shop, it has done its job perfectly, taking the brunt of the environment so the precision tool inside remained completely protected and immaculate.
