Two-point bore gauges depend on the operator finding the true diameter by rocking the gauge, so readings can vary from person to person. The Mitutoyo 468-172 solves this with three self-centring anvils spaced at 120°, which locate on the bore automatically and measure the true inside diameter across a 75-88 mm range.
The contact points are TiN (titanium nitride) coated for durability and impact resistance, and they allow measurement right to the bottom of a blind hole. A ratchet stop applies constant measuring force, while the large LCD provides 0.001 mm resolution. It is genuine Mitutoyo, supplied through an authorised distributor.
Typical uses include machine shops inspecting bores, bushings and cylinders; quality labs needing operator-independent bore readings; and blind-hole measurement in drilled and bored parts. Functions include zero/ABS setting, presetting, data hold and data output, plus low-battery and error alarms. The data output allows readings to be sent directly to an SPC or data collection system, while an optional extension rod can be used for measuring deep holes.
For the best accuracy, keep the head square to the bore axis, measure at more than one depth to check for taper or ovality, and allow the part and instrument to reach the same temperature before measuring.
Because a three-point instrument must be set against a known diameter, a setting ring is needed for origin setting. Setting rings are optional accessories, so ask our team to quote the matching ring with your order. Our team can also arrange calibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a three-point bore micrometer work?
Three anvils spaced at 120° contact the bore at once and self-centre, so the reading reflects the true inside diameter.
Do I need a setting ring?
Yes, a setting ring is used for origin setting. Setting rings are optional accessories, so our team can quote one with the micrometer.
Should I choose the 468-172 or the 468-171?
The 468-171 covers 62-75 mm, while the 468-172 covers 75-88 mm. Match the measuring range to your bore sizes; our team can help you decide.
How should I care for the instrument?
Wipe the measuring faces clean after use, store it in its case away from heat, humidity and coolant, and remove the battery if it will be stored for a long time. Regular calibration keeps readings trustworthy.
Can the instrument be calibrated?
General Tech Saudi provides calibration services for dimensional instruments. Ask our team about calibration when you order.
Can you supply other Mitutoyo instruments in the same order?
Yes. Our store carries a wide range of Mitutoyo micrometers, bore gauges, calipers and indicators. Tell us what you need and we will quote them together.
Is genuine Mitutoyo available in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. General Tech is an authorised Mitutoyo distributor. Call +966 531 321586 for current pricing, availability and lead time.
