Mitutoyo 505-737 | Dial Caliper | Series 505 | OD Carbide Tipped Jaws | Graduation 0.001 Inch | Accuracy ±0.002 Inch | Range 0 to 8 Inch | Weight 185 g
Part No. 505-737 | Range 0–8" | Graduation 0.001" | Accuracy ±0.002"
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 505-737 is a Series 505 mechanical dial caliper with a 0–8" measuring range, 0.001" graduation and ±0.002" accuracy. It is designed for measuring outside, inside, depth and step dimensions with one battery-free instrument.
The caliper uses Mitutoyo's redesigned Series 505 dial movement for smooth slider operation and high shock protection. Its hardened stainless steel construction is suited to routine dimensional inspection in machining, maintenance and fabrication environments.
The 505-737 uses a 0.1" range per revolution, while the dial provides 0.001" graduation. This gives a clear mechanical indication without requiring a digital display or battery. Bezel and slider lock screws allow the dial setting and jaw position to be retained when required.
The defining feature of this version is its carbide-tipped outside jaws. Carbide provides a wear-resistant measuring surface for applications involving hardened, cast or abrasive workpieces, helping maintain the condition of the OD measuring faces during repeated use.
For a smaller measuring range, the Mitutoyo 505-736 covers 0–6".

Who This Product Is Best For
The Mitutoyo 505-737 is suitable for machinists, quality inspectors, maintenance technicians, fabrication workshops and dimensional inspection teams measuring components up to 8".
The carbide-tipped outside jaws make this configuration useful where OD measuring faces are exposed to hardened, cast or abrasive materials. The mechanical design also suits workshops that prefer a battery-free instrument for routine measurements.
Because the caliper measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions, it can be used for multiple inspection tasks without changing to a separate measuring tool.
How to Use the Mitutoyo 505-737
-
Clean the measuring jaws and workpiece before measurement.
-
Close the jaws gently and check the dial position. Adjust the bezel to zero when required and secure it with the bezel lock screw.
-
Open the jaws beyond the feature being measured.
-
Position the appropriate measuring jaws squarely against the workpiece.
-
Close the jaws gently using the slider/thumb roller until proper contact is established.
-
Read the beam scale together with the dial indication to determine the measurement.
-
Use the slider lock screw when the jaw position needs to be retained.
-
Clean the caliper after use and store it in its fitted plastic case.
For repeatable dimensional inspection, keep the measuring surfaces clean, avoid excessive measuring force and maintain proper alignment between the caliper and workpiece.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can the Mitutoyo 505-737 measure?
The 505-737 measures outside dimensions, inside dimensions, depths and steps across a 0–8" range.
How accurate is the Mitutoyo 505-737?
The specified accuracy is ±0.002".
What is the graduation of the 505-737?
The dial graduation is 0.001", with a 0.1" range per revolution.
Does the Mitutoyo 505-737 require batteries?
No. It is a mechanical dial caliper and does not require batteries for operation.
Does the 505-737 have carbide jaws?
Yes. The 505-737 has carbide-tipped outside jaws. The inside jaws are not specified as carbide-tipped for this model.
What is the difference between the 505-737 and 505-739?
Both models have a 0–8" range, 0.001" graduation, ±0.002" accuracy and 0.1" per revolution. The 505-737 has carbide-tipped outside jaws, while the 505-739 has carbide-tipped outside and inside jaws.
What is the difference between the 505-737 and standard-jaw 0–8" models?
The 505-737 uses carbide-tipped outside jaws, while the standard-jaw versions use conventional measuring jaws. The appropriate configuration depends on the type of workpiece and expected jaw wear.
