Do you know how to read a micrometer? Micrometers-which are often referred to as a “mic”-are commonly used precise measurement tools in the mechanical engineering and machining industries. They’re used extensively when building and rebuilding engines, machining crankshafts, and more. You can unlock the world of precision measurement by joining us, and learning how to use them. In this episode of Hagerty | DIY, Davin breaks down the different parts of a micrometer, how to get the best measurement, and how to read them. What’s your favorite precision-measuring tool? Got any mic tips? Let us know in the comments below!

Buddy, you explained this better in 4 minutes the most people do in half an hour. Thank you and good work.

Can I get a Venier Caliper Demo please?

@Lennysuga 3 года назад

Very helpful info Davin , your pride in your work is inspiring !

@vettekid3326 3 года назад

As a former inspector and later metrologist for Caterpillar Inc. using mics can be confusing for many people. When I was an inspector I would have to show someone at least once a day how to read one properly because people would have trouble because we used both SAE standard and metric mics which read out quite differently. To tell the truth I was happy when they switched over to digital readout mics, that made things a lot clearer for most people.

@justaguy8347 3 года назад

Very informative! Thanks Davin!

@ct1762 2 года назад

One thing that really works for me: when calibrating (and later measuring), i put the mic in a vice (lightly) and JUST BARELY touch the gauge block, and then use 3 clicks on the fine barrel adjustment. this way, when you go to measure something, its a simple, easily repeatable formula for consistent, accurate readings ie barely touching, then 3 clicks in. of course this is harder to do with a really cheapo caliper, so always buy the best you can afford.

As always an amazing video. Greetings from Brazil.

@paulstan9828 3 года назад

Thanks for the refresher course. I learned how to use micrometers about 40 years ago and haven’t used one in 30 years. I was looking at one the other day and was wondering if I still knew how to read them.

@BedsitBob 2 года назад

In my experience, it's like riding a bike. You may get a bit rusty, but you never really forget.

Bro thank you so much for this video, you saved me just in time so I was ready for a quiz on micrometers

@craigfiles7067 3 года назад

Thanks for the explanation of how to read micrometers

@Shane-Singleton 3 года назад

Excellent information, Davin! I've never used a Mic or a Dial Bore gauge. If I ever end up rebuilding the engine in any of my project vehicles i'll certainly need to know how to use both. Maybe follow this one up with using a Dial Bore gauge? Maybe in combination with the micrometer?

@reinovator 3 года назад

Cool it's been awhile (30 years)since I have had to use that precision. Thanks

@FrankieJ1981 3 года назад

I just started using these for my new job

@mikemurray6727 3 года назад

Just for someone new to micrometers, the outside mic reads everything you uncover and depth mic read everything you cover up.

@space.weather 2 года назад

Thank you 🎀

@barra245t2 3 года назад

I'm pleased my country uses the metric system,much easier to understand

@ellieprice3396 3 года назад

Depends on which system you're familiar with and used to working with. Using a metric micrometer would be foreign to me.

@crimsonJerom 3 года назад

You read metric the same way you count your money. Just have to add a denomination that is 1/10 of a cent (centi) which you call a mili. So much more efficient than the inch and feet system regardless of what you are used to. I routinely use both systems.

@BedsitBob 2 года назад

@@ellieprice3396 I can use both, but I prefer imperial.

@greasemonkeychris4128 3 года назад

This is one of those things i haven't done since i was an apprentice. I honestly haven't had to pick up a mic in nearly 15 years in the trade.

@cdstoc 3 года назад

Funny, last weekend I took out a mic that my dad gave me, and couldn't remember how to use it. This video is very timely!

@Hnair1982 3 года назад

Which mic do you use to measure something smaller than 1 inch? Should the “0” in the 0 to 1 mic used fir demonstration be read as “0” and not “1”?

@ellieprice3396 3 года назад

The zero to one inch micrometer measures from .001 to 1.000.

@BedsitBob 2 года назад

He wasn't using a 0-1" in the demo. He was using a 1-2" mic.

@joshstaley7459 2 года назад

My God you have so many videos to sort through you should put all those DIY stuff in one file

@willthompson9073 10 месяцев назад

What kind of mics are those?

@dougb3699 3 года назад

When ever I go to to the hardware store to buy a number drill, I always bring my micrometer. And, the guy behind the counter gets taught how to use it.

@fabianherrera9793 3 года назад

depth gauge??

@honchoryanc 3 года назад

Clean them using a piece of paper where you tighten on the clean paper loosely then pull back then re 0

@grahamsmith4988 3 года назад

What's an inch?

@johnmilner7603 3 года назад

We used them in machine shop in HS in the early 70’s.

@user-uq2rt3rm4m 3 года назад

Oh, my God... Why don't you switch to measurements in millimeters?

@monteiro5306 3 года назад

I AGREE !!!

@jagvette1 3 года назад

I got so used to using a micrometer for years then never used it again for many years, picked it up and said sod it and bought a digital one , OH THE SHAME
