Leather Thickness Dial Caliper

Leather Thickness Dial Caliper.

Precision Measurement Tool for Leathercraft.

Ensure professional-grade accuracy in every project with the Leather Thickness Dial Caliper, an essential tool for measuring leather thickness in millimeters and ounces. Designed for leatherworkers, cobblers, and artisans, this caliper delivers 0.02mm (0.001") precision, allowing you to verify material consistency, plan layering, and maintain quality control across belts, wallets, holsters, and bags.

Key Features:

• Dual Measurement Scales: Read thickness in millimeters (0–10mm) and ounces (0–25oz) for seamless compatibility with global leather standards.
• High-Precision Dial Display: Instantly view measurements on a clear, easy-to-read dial with 0.02mm accuracy, eliminating guesswork.
• Durable Stainless Steel Jaws: Corrosion-resistant construction ensures longevity, even in humid workshop environments.
• Adjustable Throat Depth: Measure thick hides or stacked layers with a spacious throat (up to 20mm depth on select models).
• Zero-Reset Function: Calibrate the dial to baseline for consistent measurements across multiple projects.

Why Choose a Dial Caliper Over Digital Models?
Mechanical dials require no batteries, making them reliable for long-term use. The smooth thumbwheel and locking screw allow quick adjustments and secure measurements, while the non-marring jaws protect delicate leather surfaces.

Perfect For:

• Quality Assurance: Verify leather thickness before cutting, skiving, or tooling.
• Pattern Design: Ensure uniform layering for stacked leather goods like journals or cardholders.
• Professional Workshops: A must-have for cobblers, saddlers, and bag makers requiring repeatable precision.
• Hobbyists: Achieve pro-level accuracy in DIY projects without expensive equipment.

Pro Tip: Pair with a stitch groover or edge beveler to maintain consistent depth across your work. For best results, measure leather away from the hide’s edges, where thickness varies most.
