Great video. Had a training class today where the instructor tried to teach us this but I had a hard time understanding him. You completely cleared that up in less than 6 mins. Thx. One thing that would make the video even better imo is if you would add the written number to the answer parts of the video so the people learning can see it visually as well. ++

Nice teaching , dial calipers not only are precise, they look cool and interesting measuring tool. After using electronic ones i prefer this one. Also using dial calipers makes you way aware of the measures, digital ones like all electronic stuff can go faulty. Meanwhile this one is more resistant 👍

I have no stake in this field other than the fact that I am a hobbiest who needs to measure screw gauges, wire sizes,etc.. what kills me is how we got to dividing an inch into 10 units. We had a system that was already base 10 ...the metric system and we decided we still wanted the mfn inch! Use the gd metric system!

Oh man, @cicerobg -- do I ever agree with you!!! The metric system makes so much more sense, which is what makes it a lot easier. Way back in the 1970s, the USA started switching to metric, but then we stopped part way in, and using both metric and imperial, resulting in even more confusion. (Sorry for the history lesson. It's just crazy!)

Need to explain the mm side more. I don't have a dial I have marks on the top edge, 0, 2,4,6,8,10 and obviously have the standard 0,5,10,15,20,25 on the bottom. It's accurate just need to convert it I guess.
@wonbythe1

Hi Ryno. The metric measurements on standard (inch) calipers can only give you a rough, vague idea of the size you're measuring. The dial & needle only read in inches. To read millimeters, it's best to either get metric calipers, or digital calipers that switch between inches to millimeters.

Hi Jon. After using dial calipers for so long, doing "the calculations" comes instantly and naturally. There are no batteries to die. On good, high quality dial calipers, even though they only read to thousandths (0.001"), you can see how close the needle is to a line, and get a rough idea of how many tenths (0.0001") away from the line you are.

what happens if it lands between the 1000's of an inch, or 1/4 or 3/4 between the 1000's of an inch?
@wonbythe1
Жыл бұрын
Hi kracksmith4ejm1. For that level of accuracy, I would recommend using a micrometer. However, if the pointer is 1/2 way past a line, you can add 0.0005" to that number. If it's 1/4 past a line, add 0.00025"; if it's 3/4 past, add 0.00075", etc... But again, since the accuracy is ±0.001" for calipers, to be certain of an accurate measurement, a micrometer is the better tool.
