    • This will allow for a more repeatable measurement.

    • Extend the calibration life of the device. Preventing damage to the measuring surfaces or measured part.

    • Make use of the locking mechanism.

    • Occasionally the device has to be positioned in a way that cannot be read.

    • Always prioritize comfort. If there is a change the jaws can move when attempting to read. Lock the device. Move it to you.

    • Ensure the part is secure, use flat surfaces, try to use the vernier comfortably with both hands.

    • External features are measured as shown.

    • These sections of the jaws have a knife edge,

    • Used to measure smaller features with low clearances.

    • These sections have a flat edge.

    • Used to measure larger features with perpendicular surfaces.
