Moore and Wright 1965 External Micrometer

The Moore & Wright 1965 External Micrometer is a precision measuring instrument designed for accurate external dimension measurement in imperial units. Built to BS870, DIN 863/1 and ISO 361 standards, this traditional micrometer delivers professional-grade accuracy for engineers, machinists and quality control professionals requiring reliable imperial measurements.

The micrometer features a distinctive blue textured frame finish with a tapered bow design that provides comfortable handling during extended use. Tungsten carbide measuring faces ensure exceptional wear resistance and long-term dimensional stability, making this instrument ideal for high-volume inspection work and precision engineering applications. The 6.5mm spindle diameter offers robust construction whilst maintaining the sensitivity required for accurate readings.

Practical usability is enhanced through the 'speeder' type ratchet mechanism, which enables rapid positioning before final measurement, whilst the integrated ratchet ensures consistent measuring pressure for repeatable results. The locking lever secures measurements for transfer or comparison, and the included adjusting key allows for calibration maintenance. With 0.001 inch resolution across a 0-1 inch range, this micrometer is well-suited to precision machining, tool room work and component inspection where imperial measurements are specified.

Each micrometer is supplied in a protective plastic pocket case for secure storage and transportation between workshop and site locations.
