Good video on this subject. A little pointer however; The micrometer is actually designed with one hand operation in mind. The ring finger hooks around the frame which balances/wedges in the palm, and the thimble is turned with the thumb and forefinger of the same hand. It takes a little practice , but learning to hold the tool properly makes measuring much easier and keeps others from thinking you're a novice.
First day of my apprenticeship my mentor handed me a micrometer and told me to hold it and when I tried holding it with 2 hands he yelled at me about how I’d never get another job if I held a micrometer like that. So yeah definitely a big deal from differentiating from novices
Thanks for the video. I just started learning how to read measurements on calipers and micrometers, and this video let me know the more applicable uses between the two. I was wondering about 6:50, where you mentioned the relief cut on the caliper. What would be an example where you would need to use that feature?
Catawampus? Where are YOU from? :-) I am familiar with calipers from working at my dad's machine shop back in the day. I even had to read a vernier. Now I need a tool to determine what gauge strings the builder put on my hammered dulcimer. I think measuring to the nearest thousandth of an inch would be plenty. After watching the video, I'm still not sure what I need.
Pennsylvania! ;) It sounds like a cheap caliper would do the trick. If it's not something you'll use often, go with a dial gauge style that doesn't require batteries.
Good video…BUT I hope nobody ever expects you to build anything-with 30 years as a builder behind me, I cannot remember even one instance where 1/4” or 1/2” or wire was considered an acceptable tolerance. 1/16”and sometimes to 1/8” are generally acceptable tolerances for general framing-good trim work goes down to 32nds and 64ths--Please know what you speak of
