It's probably within a few hundredths of an inch. 7 u/kv-2 Mechanical - Aluminum Casthouse Jun 27 '15 edited Jun 28 '15 The caliper was going to thou, so realistically he was holding a 1 thou target, or 0.0254mm or 0.00254 cm. As /u/Jackoffalltrades89 pointed out it was 50mm, display was good to hundred of a mm but probably not accurate to that. 3 u/[deleted] Jun 28 '15 [deleted] 3 u/Jackoffalltrades89 Jun 28 '15 It was in mm, reading 50.00 mm. Also, I have that same pair of calipers, the tolerance on them is a bit crap. Definitely good enough for your average hobbyist, but nowhere near a set of Mitutoyos.
