Yes it's basic but the mentors can't explain every detail in a machining video, there just isn't the time. So it's great to see the thinking behind using these tools of the trade. Thank you for thinking of the less experienced of us. Getting it right from the start will always help in the long run. Guess I should throw away my old wooden school ruler now eh? ;-)

Sorry I didn't go through your comments before leaving this comment... But I hope that I'm not the only one that caught this... When explaining the VERNIER CALIPER you went from using the INSIDE measurements on the Main scale, to using the OUTSIDE for the FINE (not sure how much that would change things, just wanted to mention it to you "???")...

Greg, Yes. I do like the mechanical dial calipers best. A battery never went dead in mechanical dial calipers! I was always confused with how to read a vernier caliper because, to me, several lines lined up. I see now that I had to take a closer look because the lines I thought were lining up did not. It's like reading the 10ths scale on a mic that has one. Some lines are pretty damn close, but one is dead nuts! I am all for this series. As mentioned, I learned something. My grandfather was a machinist and he has several vernier calipers. I'll have to check them out. It looks like I will be getting a lathe soon, so speeds and feeds would be of interest to me. I also intend to grind my own HSS cutting tools. When I have mastered that, I may switch over to carbide. Thanks so much for the information. Have a good one . . . and send California some truckloads of snow! Dave

Nice vid!! I prefer the dial calipers over digital too, but for me it's a math issue. Trying to measure a .030" difference on something is way easier for me to read on the dial over trying to subtract numbers or reset zero each time. My HF are close, but I've noticed that the depth rod on the end is the most likely part to be "off". I screwed up several parts before I realized it wasn't accurate. Thanks!
@Halligan142

For me it's more the feel of the caliper. The HF's feel like they have sand in them and they probably do. The B&S are super smooth. Even smoother than the Mitutoyo's

Scribing with the edge of a caliper is a Pet peeve of mine. Not to say that it does not work or is inaccurate, but that it compromises an expensive tool and cant be effectively re-sharpened. See the third post for an easy work around, that preserves tools. www.projectsinmetal.com/forum/general-discussion/cheap-diy-surface-plate-height-gauge/#p7196

Thanks for all your help. I do need one more thing. And that is to know what the reading should be of a 5/23" cable on the dial of my 6" caliper tool ? I trust this tool as its OEM brand and my other is a cheepie pittsburg 6" composite Digital Caliper from Harbor Frieght . Could it be that cutting the cable off with an electric cutting wheel to put it in the drill bit sizer is changing the diameter of the cable ? Thanks again .

Thanks 3/16 is a cable size for standing rigging on a sailboat. I think i'll cut one of the swage ends off & put it thru a drill bit hole sizer to be sure of the size. Someone stole my standing rigging so i've been collecting used rigging to try to replace mine. I now have four different sizes & each cable will need a $30 - $70 fitting to work on my boat so i need to make sure of the sizes . Thanks again you've helped me alot. Can you tell me how i can find where you got the 3/16=.187. 1/4 = .250 measurement table. or what i could look up on the web where to find a table to tell me this size exchange ? Thanks .

I have a Diel Caliper that I bought in the 60's from Sears. It has a face which reads 0 to 100 @ the 6 o'clock position and starts over from 0 to 100 to the 12 o'clock position. It reeds in inches and CM. How do I read the Dial. What type of Dial Calipers do I have. Thanks, Hank
@Halligan142

+HammeringHank100 Same as the ones in the video. Read the number on the bar and add what the dial says regardless of what portion of the 0-100 part of the dial it is in. The 0-200 calipers like yours are usually a little cheaper because the dial is reading direct off the rack. The 0-100 calipers require a multiplier gear for the dial to be 0-100

Hi and thanks for the videos. You talked about rings in this video and one a few weeks ago. There was an excellent article in Machinists workshop two or three years ago - have you read it.

Thanks for showing how to read this tool. What i really need to do is take my reading and turn it into a cable size. I have both a dial type and a digital type calipers. The reading from the dial type of my cable is 1.92 i guess. The reading from the digital type is 0.18 in or 4.7 mm. I'm trying to find out if my cable is a 1/4 in or 7/32 seconds in . Could you tell me what size my cable is from my readings. I need to order a mechanical type swage fitting for this cable the company only makes the 7/32 seconds inch fitting with the 7/16 thread i need for my roller furler . I know my readings could be a little off , could you tell me witch of my reading is close's to 1/4 in or 7/32 in ? Thanks.

You're closer to 3/16 (.187). 1/4" is .250 and 7/32" is .218

I have one for layout and one for measuring. The Mitutoyo's are my layout calipers. I just did it with the B&S to keep the same caliper onscreen.
