Mitutoyo 114-161 3 Flute V-Anvil Micrometer, 1 to 15 mm, 0.01 mm

Description

The Mitutoyo 114-161 is an analog V-anvil micrometer designed for measuring the outside diameter of cutting tools with an odd number of flutes, such as taps, reamers, and end mills. It features a metric measurement scale with a range of 1 to 15 mm and a graduation (resolution) of 0.01 mm.

Key features

• V-shaped anvil: This is the tool's defining characteristic. The unique 60-degree V-anvil is designed to hold and measure the outside diameter of cutting tools that have three or five flutes, such as taps, reamers, and end mills.
• Targeted measurements: Measures the outside diameter of three-fluted tools. Some variants also have a centerline groove in the anvil that can be used for the single-wire method of measuring tap pitch diameter.
• Ratchet stop: A ratchet mechanism on the thimble provides an audible click when the proper measuring force is applied. This ensures uniform pressure on the workpiece for precise, repeatable, and consistent measurements.
• High accuracy: It features a high level of precision, with an accuracy of $\pm$4 µm.
• Clear analog display: The tool uses a clear, analog vernier scale for its measurements. The thimble and sleeve are finished in satin chrome, which reduces glare and makes for easier reading.
• Durable construction: The frame has a baked enamel finish to protect it and extend its lifespan. The measuring surfaces of the spindle and V-anvil are carbide-tipped for increased durability and wear resistance.
• Complete set: The micrometer is supplied with a fitted plastic case and a 5mm setting standard for calibration and secure storage.
