Refurbishing, Calibrating and Fixing a Starrett 120 Caliper 

While I would normally cringe at what you are doing, and others have said pretty much the same, I can see your point here, salvaging a tool that would otherwise be junk and unusable is NOT the same as ruining a good tool! I enjoyed the video and would like to see other tools saved from the junk pile!

I appreciate the subtle dry humor.

This helped my replace my crystal. It's so much easier than discussions led me to believe. Pop the ring off, pull the white o-ring and the crystal comes right out. No need to bend the new one - it just fell into place.

Are you able to fit the crystal back in without using a hot glue?

May I suggest when taking fingers from any dial cover the dial with plastic to avoid scratching also you can buy a watchmakers tool to release the fingers ....great job though enjoyed it

Who would have thought you could fix something as complicated as that thing, Good video.

there is SERIUM powder to polish the acrylic watch crystals, is what I use, before I was combining ashes with liquid soap in equal quantity, ONE DROP of it on a cotton cloth and polish. great video AAAAA+++++

Machinist tools always fascinate me. Well done!! What camera are you using?

I gotta say it. Bravo to you. Keep up the good work. I loved the innovation. My favorite part has gotta be the hammer and anvil trick to calibrate tool. Seriously not joking or being sarcastic. That was awesome. Hit the like guys. I wanna see more cool shit. 😂

For polishing a plastic crystal, at least for watches, there is a material called Polywatch. I've never used it but apparently it works well.

How did you end up getting that small spring back on between thr two gears. I've been fighting getting it lined back up. Is their some type of trick? Thanks

After watching many of your videos I'm not sure there's anything you can't do. Amazing. I'm certain I would have bogged this one terribly.

Thanks for sharing

Éloïse, this was a great video !! this is Pierre from great lakes tool works btw

Great video as usual!

Use McGuire's visor polish from auto parts store.

I have 1 and needle seems to be moving out of place.

Well done. Too bad they don't repair watches and clocks anymore. You would be great.

I can email you a copy of Starrett’s official repair manual if you would like.

Well, after that I thought you should have posted an hour long video reviewing all the existing toothpastes in a scientific manner... How do I know what to use in my case?! :p Nice video though! I had no trust but you've saved this tool! Well done! 👍

Congratulations on an interesting video. Enjoying watching your style. Cheers

When you broke out the file Mr Starrett rolled over in his grave!!!!!

Bravo pour ta photo à Lee Valley Laval
