Mitutoyo 505-736 | Dial Caliper | Series 505 | OD Carbide Tipped Jaws | Graduation 0.001 Inch | Accuracy ±0.001 Inch | Range 0 - 6 Inch | Weight 175 g

Part No. 505-736 | Range 0–6" | Graduation 0.001" | Accuracy ±0.001"

Product Overview

The Mitutoyo 505-736 is a Series 505 mechanical dial caliper with a 0–6" measuring range, 0.001" graduation and ±0.001" accuracy. It measures outside dimensions, inside dimensions, depths and steps with one versatile tool, making it suitable for routine dimensional inspection and workshop measurement.

The mechanical dial design provides a direct analog reading without batteries. The Series 505 dial movement is designed for smooth slider operation and high shock protection, supporting dependable use in demanding workshop environments.

This model features carbide-tipped outside jaws. Carbide provides increased wear resistance when measuring hardened, cast or abrasive workpieces, helping maintain the condition of the measuring faces during repeated outside-dimension measurements.

The 505-736 has a 0.1" range per revolution, while each dial graduation represents 0.001". Bezel and slider lock screws allow the reading or slider position to be secured when required.

For applications requiring a larger measuring range, the Mitutoyo 505-737 provides a 0–8" range with carbide-tipped outside jaws.

Who This Product Is Best For

The Mitutoyo 505-736 is suitable for machinists, quality inspectors, maintenance technicians, fabrication workshops and other users performing dimensional checks on components up to 6".

Its carbide-tipped outside jaws are particularly useful where repeated measurement of hardened, cast or abrasive surfaces can cause increased jaw wear. The battery-free dial also makes it practical for workshop environments where a straightforward mechanical measuring instrument is preferred.

It can be used for checking outside dimensions, internal dimensions, depths and steps without changing to a separate measuring instrument for each task.

How to Use the Mitutoyo 505-736

1. Clean the measuring jaws and the workpiece before measurement.

2. Close the jaws gently and check the dial zero. Adjust the bezel if required and secure it with the bezel lock.

3. Open the jaws sufficiently to clear the feature being measured.

4. Position the caliper squarely against the workpiece and close the jaws gently using the slider.

5. Read the dimension from the beam and dial according to the caliper's 0.001" graduation.

6. Use the slider lock when you need to retain the jaw position while checking or recording the measurement.

7. After use, clean the measuring surfaces and store the caliper in its fitted case.

For critical inspection work, use the caliper according to your established calibration and measurement procedures.
