Kinex

Accuracy, reliability and affordability. There are plenty of precision measuring tool manufacturers who can hit two out of the three, but it is surprisingly rare to get all three at once.
Kinex are a small European manufacturer who focus their time and effort, and ultimately your money, on getting the metallurgy and working surfaces right.
All Kinex products are produced to German (DIN) industrial norms. As a general guide DIN 875/1 is equivalent to BS939 grade B for squares and DIN 874/00 is fractionally tighter than BS5204 grade A for straightedges.

A straighforward, well made, good quality manual vernier caliper.
The thing that I like about this particular model is that the vernier scale is a generous 50mm long, so you get resolution of 0.02mm but it is as easy to read as a rule with just whole mm graduations.
On the top, it also has a 1.25 inch long imperial vernier scale giving thousandths of an inch.
The sliding jaw is accurately ground from a solid block of hardened sta...

The Kinex Absolute Zero Digital caper is a serious precision instrument. The jaws slide incredibly smoothly, tracked continuously and instantaneously by the display with no 'blank screen moments'.
The display can be zeroed at any position and that stetting will be stored even if the display is switched off. Supplied in a foam lined protective case it conforms to DIN 862 ...

The standard range of engineers' squares only goes down to 75mm, but we thought a smaller, lighter, high accuracy square that can be carried in a pocket or apron would be a useful thing. Ideal for checking ground and honed edges, joinery, trial fits and glue ups.
Kinex marking and measuring instruments are carefully handmade in small batches to ensure accuracy, reliability, and conformity to German DIN standards.

Kinex marking and measuring instruments are carefully handmade in small batches to ensure accuracy, reliability, and conformity to German DIN standards.
The invisibly rivetted joints of Kinex engineers' squares are reinforced with a special industrial bonding agent, this unusual step ensures stability through a wider temperature range than you would get with rivetting alone.
The surface grinding is superb, with all edges nicely eased.

Whilst a sliding bevel is useful for transferring angles it is sometimes necessary to convert them to or from a numerical value. The Kinex 251613 is a proper engineers' protractor, precision ground from thick stainless steel sheet and large enough to position accurately to half a degree.
The protractor head is 3mm thick and the arm is 4mm thick, compatible with Kinex 3mm thick steel engineers' draughting squares.

Accurately identifies the centre of round objects by defining perpendiculars to the curved surface it can be used in conjunction with a straightedge to extrapolate perpendiculars for larger circles or work back from an internal circumference.
It can also be used with a draughtsman’s square to construct parallels and tangents to curved surfaces.
