I have a vintage micrometer that was used on a WWII ship to measure lenses for spy scopes. It has a metal base and mounts to a table. Could you show how to read one of those?
@Raay1901 I was actually doing that on purpose. These videos were created for my Chinese Quality Engineers who do not speak much English. I had to talk slow and make my point even slower. Funny thing is - YouTube was blocked in China right after I made these videos.
YOU EXPLAIN IT A BIT DIFFERENTLY YOU ADD THE 3 BUT OTHERS WOULD LINE IT UP AND ADD THE LARGER NUMBER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE 3 IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN DON,T KNOW WHO IS RIGHT MY MIND IS ALL SCREW UP KNOW. YOUR CAMERA MAN OR WOMAN DID A VERY BAD JOB FOR HIS OR HER EYES ONLY NOT FOR MINE
Well, if your question is in regards to reading the .0001" (10th) place, you have to find the numbered line that lines up to the dashes on the spindle.
The angle in which my camera person took this shot was a little off, so it is harder to see that the line marked '3' matched the dashes the best.
thats great, taught me more in 8 minutes than my instructor at MMI did in 10 hours. I know a metric is a different process, can you put one up on how to read a metric???
thanks for the information either way, going to try and get this video in the class.
excellent, going to the 4th decimal place always messed me up. you explained it very well. thanks for making this public.

Any chance you can do one of these on basic blueprint reading for Machinists. I've been out of QC for a few years and I'm rusty.

Very good,thanks!
One way I was shown to read was to think of the scale in money terms.
Whole numbers as dollars (.1),the dashes after the whole as quarters .025,the thimble dashes as pennies .001
How about some basics on reading blueprints? Dial indicators?
Thanks again...

Actually the ratchet is used to apply the correct amount of pressure to get an accurate reading without springing open the instrument.

This is very helpful, thank you for the info.
It taught me how to read it, and I have an exam on it tomorrow.
But why is it .686 and 3 10ths?
