Description
Condition
Used (Perfect Condition).
This groove micrometer is in immaculate, like-new condition. It shows virtually no signs of previous use or handling marks. The spindle rotation is smooth, the ratchet stop functions correctly in both directions, and the measuring flanges are free from damage or wear. It is supplied in its original fitted plastic case, complete with the adjustment spanner.
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 146-123 is a specialised mechanical micrometer designed specifically for measuring the width, depth, and location of grooves inside bores and tubes. Unlike standard micrometers, it features a rotating spindle with large 12.7mm diameter flanged disks on both the anvil and spindle faces. This unique design allows the instrument to enter a bore and measure the distance between internal groove walls (inside measurement) or the width of external features (outside measurement). The unit is equipped with a two-directional ratchet stop, ensuring a constant measuring force is applied regardless of whether the spindle is being extended or retracted. The satin-chrome finish on the thimble and sleeve reduces glare, making the dual graduations easy to read in various lighting conditions.
