I thought it might be useful for people to be able to compare all the calipers on the one page, so I made a comparison chart.
| Caliper | Description | Smallest measurement | Largest measurement | Price (USD) | Most often used by |
Small Calipers |
120mm or 4.5″ high – smallest of the 3-armed calipers | 9.5mm or .37″ | 189mm or 7.5″ | $65 |
|
Medium Calipers |
180mm or 7.2″ high – the original design. Also available as a heavy-duty 2mm thick version (ask if you’d like these) | 13.4mm or .57″ | 320mm or 12.8″ | $85 |
|
Large Calipers |
320mm or 12.8″ high – These are the largest calipers I make – just over a foot long. People usually buy these as a set of three… because that way you get the small ones free (Set of 3 available here) |
31mm or 1.24″ | 590mm or 23.2″ | $75 |
