Review:
I've never seen an absolute origin digital caliper with built in wireless or Bluetooth connectivity, so I was excited to get my hands on this. It is very similar in size, weight and shape to the iGaging CoolantCal, which also has built in wireless, but that one is not absolute origin.
While not as light and nimble in the hands as my favorite iGaging OriginCal that I reviewed years back (and is still my top pick for the best caliper for the money). It is smoother and more accurate than many of the others I have tested. My only real complaint about the design is the plastic housing protrudes past the jaws so measuring an object at the top of the jaws will not lead to an accurate measurement because you will be hitting the plastic housing. This could, and probably will be fixed in production in the near future knowing iGaging though. If they fix that and make this one coolant-proof, they would probably start outselling Mitutoyo on the coolant proof caliper front.
Check out the Original OriginCal which is still my top pick:

I like the measurements. After years of reading lies about calipers it’s nice to see complete measurements done. Especially at different positions within the jaws. Thanks!
Thank you for these videos! Wish you still made em but they are still influencing my purchases years later. Thanks man! Hope you’re well
Why thank you! I might pick it back up someday. Glad I'm still helping people!
Just got mine in the mail as we speak. Dude, this is fantastic. Thank you for making this review (that's why I bought it). I would love if it didn't hit "enter" after the input. I get why, but when you're in Fusion 360, trying to create rectangles, it hits enter and then leaves me with just one main measurement. :P Hope you can get another one. Thanks again!
What does it show up as in Windows?
I also use Fusion360, for my startup business. Are there any tutorials for using the bluetooth feature in fusion with this caliper? Thank you
I just purchased the 12" version of iGaging Smart OriginCal w/Bluetooth I too use Fusion360, and am excited to use it in my quality control. Im hoping that it will save me a great deal of time entering numbers. Thank you for posting this:)
Thank you for the video. Thanks for the heads up on the case hitting beyond the jaw.
Glad to help :)
Wow, such a flaw hitting the case.
Ordered them off of Amz for $50 only a few minutes after watching video. THANK YOU!
Bye bye cables.
Hello. I just received an IGaging Smart OriginCal 6" caliper (100-700-B06). Problem: it does not transmit numerical values but alpha gibberish... Test on Android spreadsheets (Google Sheets/ Microsoft 365/ Excel) both on my smartphone and on PC Unable to transmit numeric values, what should I do?
Details :
- when connecting to my smartphone (Samsung A52 Android 13), two devices appear ("Bluetooth Keyboard" and "Digital Tools"),
- Digital Tools, in settings: "an application is required to use this device";
- Bluetooth Keyboard, in settings: "text input"/ if off, disconnection...
Is the caliper faulty? What to do ?
I bought this caliper weeks ago and I do not see the problem with the body :) but the bluetooth functionality is a bit of a gimmick
Thorough review! Thanks.
great caliper and the blue tooth is awesome!
It works perfectly on all of my devices expect my desktop. It just stops working after a couple minutes. I assume this is an issue with my bluetooth adapter.
Now I know which factory makes the Moore & Wright calipers. Or at least some of them. The same one that makes these igaging calipers. I already commented on your previous video. The fractional Igaging was identical to the Moore & Wright fractional caliper, well your included battery branding is the same as the one included in the Moore & Wright Digitronic caliper I picked up the other week. Too many coincidences.
Which flavor of Bluetooth is it running Bluetooth LE or Original or?
what is caliper output and input idk which to chose
You ever tried comparing igauging to Insize?
No I haven't.
Can you jump from cell to cell (left/right/up) in a spreadsheet via caliper?
When you press the measure button, it automatically presses enter to feed the next cell. You can set what this does in your spreadsheet app to go down or to the right.
Hi, I have the iGaging ABSOLUTE ORIGIN caliper and I was thinking on buying the data cable, until I saw the Bluetooth dongle in one of your videos. Now I need to use it on a PC, not a tablet or phone, but it's not clear to me if it works or not on a PC . Can you help me out before buying cause the dongle it's much cheaper than the SPC cable.
Ernesto Ponce Yes. As long as your computer has BT it will work.
You can get a small bluetooth adaptor that plugs into a USB port on a desktop PC. They are dirt cheap.
I have a problem the the data output, for some reason they send a "space" character as the first digit at least one of my cad programs (FastCad) has a problem with the space character others don't care
Good review. Do you have a link for those Gauge Blocks? thanks
MacTech007 This is the set I'm using
amzn.to/2utb7s6
But can you hammer nails in with it?
Hi friend, have you tested bluetooth dongle, does it work well on that particular caliper?
I have a video testing the Bluetooth dongke on a normal OriginCal. Worked great except it can be awkward to press button.
JFC just buy a Mitutoyo for an extra 80 bucks. It will last you a lifetime and never fail. If you reload or machine anything this is one thing you DONT want to cheap out on
Nice video. Just wondering can this caliper be configured to send continuous reading over bluetooth/USB? I mean without need of pressing any button?
I doubt it. The battery would die in a matter of hours if you did.
Yup we can add external battery but i dont know if it could send out data in continuous mode
@@shujjaatkhan It's worth playing around with. If you decide to give it a try, let me know what you find.
I need a digital caliper without a thumbwheel and which you can move pretty smooth and without any pressure.
I have to measure some synthetic substances and with any pressure the measurement would be wrong.
Any suggestions?
Tatsu All calipers can be used without the thumb wheel. The thumb wheel actually allows for very precise movements which is what you want with a soft material. The iGaging Absolute Origin is still my top pick. Once you get one in your hand and start measuring, you will quickly get the hang of measuring things of various harnesses.
Worth buying solar calipers? i am frustrated when my digital calipers draw current even on idle... i need to change batteries very often
I haven't gotten my hands on solar calipers. The iGaging absolute draws very little. Here is my video on that:

@@GadgetClass Thanks, btw i ve noticed that there is difference between 0-6" (basic without depth addon) and version 0-6"w/Fractions (with addon), because obviously their visual appearance differ too (one has gold screen surround, other doesn't)?
where do I buy the Bluetooth dongle like the one you have on the original OriginCal?

Idk but I could never get bluetooth to work.
I have this exact model and I have it bluetooth linked to my Samsung Galaxy S10 and using excel to try to enter the data. I have a problem when I click the enter button it will enter the measurement and act as if it is hitting enter twice thereby making an entry and then skipping a row. Another problem is that this double entry from the ip54 is not consistently happening. So every once in a while it will make the entry and go to the next row down as I'd like it to.. Any ideas? Thanks
Hmm. Not sure. Mine was stolen, so I can't even try to reproduce that.
@@GadgetClass That is most unfortunate. Thieves are not cool. I found that if I use the caliper in Google Sheets the data entry works as it should. Go figure?
@@mattkillgore5066 interesting. There might be a setting in excel to handle character entry differently.
I have the 12"/300mm version of this caliper.
I can only pair to mobile devices like a phone or tablet.
When pairing with my computer, windows always does ask for a pincode witch you don't need acording to the manual and someone from the helpdesk.
So my question:
Does someone know how to pair the caliper with windows 10?
Thank you
Did you try 1234 or 0000?
@@GadgetClass Both pincodes don't work
@@fvheel Hmm. I never got a chance to try it in Windows 10. Mine got stolen, so I can't try it now.
Excellent
Thanks!
