Default Shortening caliper length?

This may seem like an odd post but has a last resort I may need to shorten
a 4 inch digital caliper with a hardened stainless scale.


They aren't realy hard, sometimes. I have cut one just with a hack saw.
But you also can use a angle grinder with a cutting disk. Try to keep it
cool! You might lose the last few mm's functionality, but it doesn't
matter, the electronics won't reach that part.


HTH,
