Description Condition Used (Good Working Condition). This pair of vernier calipers is in good used condition. While the tool shows clear signs of workshop service (such as surface scratches or staining on the satin chrome finish), the mechanical action remains excellent. The slider moves smoothly along the beam without binding or “grittiness,” and the jaws meet accurately. The vernier graduations are still legible. Product Overview These Kanon 300mm Point Calipers are a specialised variation of the standard vernier caliper, designed for measuring features that standard flat jaws cannot reach. The jaws are ground to a fine point, allowing them to fit into narrow grooves, small holes, or recesses to measure wall thickness or inside dimensions with precision. They feature a substantial 300mm (12″) measuring range, making them versatile for larger workpieces. Being a classic Vernier model, they require no batteries and are immune to coolant or oil ingress that would kill a digital caliper. They are constructed from hardened stainless steel with a satin chrome finish on the scales to reduce glare. Brand Information Kanon (manufactured by Nakamura Mfg. Co., Ltd. in Japan) is a highly respected brand in the metrology world, known for producing measuring tools that rival Mitutoyo in quality and durability. Their vernier calipers are a staple in Japanese heavy industry, prized for their distinct, easy-to-read engraving and smooth sliding action.
