Thickness Caliper

This is a joy to use, it's accurate and looks gorgeous . I keep mine hanging on the wall where I can always grab it quickly. Sturdy frame, easily readable dial and good ergonomics for right or left hand. Glad I got this tool!

I've been using this wonderful thickness caliper for over a year on my mando soundboards and backs. It is designed specifically for that task, and does it well. Recently, the tool fell to the floor from about 2 feet. When I picked it up, the dial indicator wouldn't work correctly, even though the words "shock proof" are printed on the face. I didn't want to put the same quality dial indicator on this great tool, so I ordered a very high quality one. i now have a "tricked out" thickness caliper, that's even better than ever.

Very well made and accurate- just wish the throat was deeper so you could get it into an assembled instrument....

Well made, accurate and reasonably priced (the same tool in Europe is twice the price of this one).

The Graduating Calipers are a fantastic deal . They are solid and work accurately. I am a machinist by day and use tools everyday, for the money this is a fine choice.

Several luthiers suggested that thickness calipers are not really necessary. You can make one out of wood or some other homemade version. However, since voicing the guitar is a direct funcion of thicknessing the top, I decided to purchase the StewMac calipers. I do not regret that decision. I now believe that if you are serious about making a quality instrument, one of these calipers is a must. If you cut corners here, I think you will be sorry later.

As someone who works in metric sizes I am very pleased with Stewmac's latest addition to their measuring instruments. Measuring in small sizes is easier for me in millimetres rather than thous and decimal inches. But I suppose it is what you are used to. The instrument is light easy to use and looks an item of proper quality

I'm very happy with my recent purchase of the StewMac caliper...I own two other calipers that I use in violinmaking but this one I really like and will usefor a long time...I was surprized when I opened the package to see such a well made and affordable tool...I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about violinmaking...an excellent calpier
Bravo!

A tool that you wonder how you managed without it, half the price of similar calipers in the U.K, accuracy is the key in this game, so another must have item for the toolkit..

My Thickness Caliper has proved invaluable and extremely accurate in preparing my Soundboards and backs so much so that I have no hesitation in recommending this unit.
