PanaVise Micrometer Head for All 300 Series Bases

It's the PanaVise 385 Micrometer Head, a robust and reliable work-holding accessory meticulously designed to hold micrometers securely and safely. Standing at a height of 3-1/8" (79.8 mm) and weighing a mere 0.23 lb. (0.1 kg), this high-quality micrometer head is both sturdy and lightweight. It features a 5/8" (15.9 mm) shaft, making it fully compatible with any PanaVise 300 series base, enhancing its versatility across various applications.

The upper end of this durable micrometer head is equipped with a side twist jaw lined with two thermoplastic Delrin pads. These jaws can open from 0 - 1/2" (12.7 mm), with the high stiffness and low friction of the Delrin pads contributing to the precision and accuracy of readings.

The PanaVise 385 Micrometer Head boasts a 15/16" (24.1 mm) throat depth, enabling it to effectively clamp the frame of an inserted micrometer into place. This feature allows users to free one hand to hold the edge of the item being measured, while the other hand adjusts the micrometer's dials.

Beyond its primary function, the 385 micrometer head can also be utilized to hold circuit boards and other small items, demonstrating its adaptability in various industrial and manufacturing settings.

Micrometers, handheld devices used for making small, precise measurements of parts in machining, manufacturing, and other trades, can have their accuracy compromised by constant handling. The PanaVise 385 Micrometer Head eliminates this risk by allowing the micrometer to be mounted along its frame, freeing up both hands for manipulation of the parts through the measured opening. This makes it an indispensable tool for professionals seeking precision and efficiency in their work.
