With the ability to provide quick, accurate measurement of O.D., I.D. and depth, the dial caliper is one of the most versatile measuring tools available.

While most commonly used in metalworking, many skilled woodworkers also have a dial caliper in their toolbox. They are invaluable for measuring the width and depth of slots, board thickness, drill diameters, and other tasks that are difficult or impossible with regular carpenter's rules and tape measures.

For many applications, the dimension being checked is specified as a fraction. Since dial calipers display measurements as decimals, the person doing the measurement must convert the decimal readout from the dial into a fraction – inconvenient at best, and sometimes leading to errors. The Starrett 1202F-6 solves this problem.

The 1202F-6 shows measurements as fractions on the yellow outer scale with 1/64th inch graduations, and decimal measurements on the white inner scale with 1/100th inch graduations.
