Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 505-749 dial caliper measures outside, inside, depth and step dimensions across a 0"–12" (0–304.8 mm) range. Its clear analogue dial provides a 0.001" graduation and ±0.002" accuracy without batteries or an electronic display.
Built from hardened stainless steel, the caliper features ultra-smooth sliding, shock protection and a bright yellow dial with large characters for easy reading. Its standard outside and inside jaws, depth bar and step measurement capability make it suitable for everyday dimensional inspection.
The Mitutoyo 505-749 is well suited to machinists, QC inspectors, calibration environments, fabrication workshops and maintenance teams supporting Kuwait's oil, gas and utilities sectors.
For close-tolerance measurements in hot workshop conditions, allow the workpiece to reach a stable temperature before measuring. At 304.8 mm, a 10 °C temperature difference can change the length of a steel part by approximately 35.1 μm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Mitutoyo 505-749 dial caliper measure?
It measures from 0" to 12" (0–304.8 mm).
Can the Mitutoyo 505-749 measure inside and depth dimensions?
Yes. It provides outside, inside, depth and step measurement capabilities.
Why choose a dial caliper instead of a digital caliper?
The 505-749 uses an analogue dial and requires no batteries or electronic display. This makes it convenient for routine workshop measurement where battery-free operation is preferred.
How do I read the Mitutoyo 505-749 dial?
Read the whole-unit measurement from the main beam scale, then add the dial reading. Each dial graduation represents 0.001".
What is the accuracy of the 505-749?
The stated accuracy is ±0.002".
What is the difference between the Mitutoyo 505-749 and other 12" calipers?
The 505-749 is a 0"–12" dial caliper. When comparing other 12" models such as the 505-748 or 505-750, check the jaw configuration and other model-specific specifications to select the appropriate instrument for your application.
Can the Mitutoyo 505-749 be recalibrated?
Yes. Periodic calibration through an appropriate calibration service can help maintain measurement traceability and verify instrument performance.
How should I store and care for the 505-749?
Clean the measuring faces after use, keep the caliper away from direct sunlight and coolant when stored, avoid impacts or dropping, and check the dial zero regularly. Periodic calibration is recommended where measurement traceability is required.
