December 3, 20169 yr It's double calipers. You can either set calipers at the thickness of a piece that needs measuring and then measure the gap between the points, or you can set the points at a desired dimension and check them against your workpiece as it progresses. Double-sided calipers are good for pre-setting a pair of desired measurements, such as the width and thickness of a bar being drawn out.
December 3, 20169 yr Yeah- what he said. It's a double caliper. In use you would set the desired dimensions on the caliper to check your stock as you are working it. saves using a rule. Steve
