M&C - Plastic Calipers
This versatile pottery tool takes the guesswork out of making lidded forms. Designed to measure and match the inside and outside dimensions of lids and galleries, it helps ensure a precise fit every time. The adjustable arms can be set to three measuring positions:
Standard 1:1 ratio: for wet-to-wet lid fitting
Shrinkage compensation (12.5%): for fitting a new lid to a fired piece
Extended measurement: using holes near the end of the arms, allowing for measurements up to approximately 19"
Whether you're throwing or hand-building, this tool is ideal for creating consistent, functional pieces with well-fitting lids.
