Moore and Wright FAQs

Is Moore and Wright suitable for professional use?

Absolutely. Moore and Wright is a premium brand specifically designed for professional engineers, machinists, and quality control departments. With over 115 years of heritage and backing from the Bowers Group, their instruments deliver the accuracy and reliability demanded by precision engineering, manufacturing, and inspection applications where measurements must be repeatable and trustworthy.

Can Moore and Wright measuring tools be calibrated?

Yes, all Moore and Wright precision instruments can be professionally calibrated through metrology laboratories to maintain accuracy over time. This is essential for workshops operating under ISO 9001 or other quality standards requiring traceable calibration, ensuring your measuring equipment continues to meet the exacting tolerances your work demands.

What's the difference between digital and traditional Moore and Wright callipers?

Digital vernier callipers display measurements on an easy-to-read LCD screen with instant metric/imperial conversion, eliminating reading errors and speeding up measurement tasks. Traditional vernier callipers use graduated scales requiring interpretation but need no batteries and are favoured by some engineers for their simplicity and proven reliability. Both types offer excellent accuracy – the choice depends on personal preference and application requirements.
