Moore and Wright Precision Measuring at Tooled-Up.com

Tooled-Up.com stocks Moore and Wright Precision Measuring tools for engineers, machinists, toolmakers and workshop users who need dependable accuracy. The selection covers combination sets, dividers, engineers squares, feeler gauges and strips, micrometers, spring callipers and vernier callipers, so you can set up, mark out, check and measure to fine tolerances with one brand.

Each tool type has a distinct job. Micrometers and vernier callipers take precise dimensional readings, while engineers squares and combination sets check squareness and mark out accurately. Dividers and spring callipers handle scribing, stepping off and transferring measurements, and feeler gauges check small gaps and clearances.

Browse the Moore and Wright selection to compare tools by measuring method, range and application, from bench inspection to general workshop use.

Key Features of Moore and Wright Precision Measuring

• Metric and imperial graduations: many measuring tools are available in scales suited to UK workshops, so you can work to drawings in either system.
• Hardened, ground working surfaces: engineers squares and similar tools rely on stable, accurate edges and faces, which helps them hold their accuracy through repeated use.
• Clear scales and fine adjustment: micrometers and vernier callipers use finely graduated scales so you can read small dimensions with confidence.
• Versatile combination sets: a rule with square, centre and protractor heads lets one kit handle marking out, depth setting and angle checks.
• Graduated feeler leaves: feeler gauges and strips offer a spread of thicknesses for setting gaps, tappets and clearances.
• Traditional transfer tools: spring callipers and dividers hold a set dimension firmly, which is useful for comparing and marking work.

Who Uses Moore and Wright Precision Measuring?

Moore and Wright Precision Measuring suits toolmakers, machinists and fitters who check turned or milled parts against a drawing. Motor engineers and mechanics use feeler gauges for valve and tappet clearances, while fabricators and welders rely on squares and combination sets for accurate setting out. Apprentices, college workshops and serious hobbyists also benefit from tools that teach good measuring habits, and model engineers value fine measurement on small components.

Popular Moore and Wright Precision Measuring

Micrometers and Vernier Callipers

Choose these when you need accurate readings of diameters, thicknesses and lengths. Micrometers suit the finest tolerances, while vernier callipers measure internal, external and depth dimensions in one tool.

Combination Sets and Engineers Squares

Ideal for marking out, checking squareness and setting angles on metal and other workpieces.

Dividers and Spring Callipers

Useful for scribing arcs, stepping off distances and transferring measurements.

Feeler Gauges & Strips

Perfect for checking and setting small gaps in engines, machinery and fitted assemblies.

Shop Moore and Wright Precision Measuring at Tooled-Up for tools to suit both workshop and site-based tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a micrometer or vernier callipers?

Vernier callipers are more versatile, measuring external, internal and depth dimensions quickly. A micrometer is the better choice when you need higher accuracy on a specific dimension, such as a shaft diameter.

What is a combination set used for?

A combination set marks out and checks squareness, 45-degree angles, centres and depths. Interchangeable heads on a steel rule make it a practical all-round tool for fabrication and machining.

When would I use feeler gauges?

Use feeler gauges to measure or set narrow gaps, such as valve clearances, contact breaker points and machine fittings. Slide leaves of different thicknesses into the gap until you feel light resistance.

How do I keep precision measuring tools accurate?

Wipe them clean after use, apply a light protective oil to steel surfaces, and store them separately in a case or drawer. Avoid dropping them, and never use measuring tools for tasks such as prising or hammering.
