Woo Hoo! 20 for 20. This was a great refresher. Thank you putting it together.
I have to admit I usually use a Mitutoyo digital 1 inch micrometer that reads to 100th's and a caliper for everything else. I have a 1 to 6 inch set of analog mics with a vernier scale for measuring larger sizes more accurately then with a caliper.
Hi Mr. Pete, your videos are such a great resource! I'm curious when you would choose to use micrometers over digital calipers. Are they both equally accurate?
Sir thank you very much, I never used these tools before and i watched both your videos and i got four wrong. The funny side is that they where the most easy ones i missed. but I will practice I need to use this in my new job. thank you very much again! :)
Great video and liked the quiz you did. But excuse my ignorance .., when the gauge changed to a 2 inch micrometer does that mean an inch is added automatically to the total sum?
Mr. Pete, thank you for your timely response to my question about the mic being off a thousand. I found the answer to my question when I spoke to a old retired machinist. To answer your question, the brand is Central Tools, I'm sure it would be helpful if you knew that, an important bit of information. To correct the reading, on the thimble the back section before the ratchet, unscrews and exposed a set screw that will allow the mic to be zeroed. THANKS TONY G.
Sir, I have been watching your videos over several days now and you have taught me more than my high school metal shop teacher did 20 years ago. I wish I had been a student of your's then, but I am thankful to have you now. You are inspiring and an excellent teacher. I thank you.
thanks for the vids, i am a home self tought machinist so to speak and learned a great deal from your videos. theses helped me produce much better results in my shop and projects.
Mr. PETE, Let me say that I watch you videos constantly and am amazed at how much I have learn, and continue to learn. I have a question on adjusting a micrometer to zero when the barrel is closed completely. There is no adjustment in the handle other that the friction nut. It reads a thousand off, should I try to file the anvil to make it read correctly. I can add the .001 to the total or subtract it, I'm not sure which, that's why I want to correct it. Thanks for the advice TONY G.
hay, i got 4 out of 20.. and the 4 i missed where dumb misses.. its 12am and i'm tired.. excuses, excuses.. lol.. anyways.. i am totally in love with your videos.. i've learned MUCH from them, and i'm still watching them.. thank you so much for doing these.. you are a great teacher!
Wow. I've been trying to read these things for 20 years. Then I watch this video a few times. Then I pass the test. Wow. People charge a lot of money for this kind of instruction. And this man just gives it away. There is surely a place in Heaven. (Seriously... These videos make my day. What a professional. Thank you.)
I got a good laugh out of your post. Yes, unfortunately that's pretty much the way my whole teaching career has been-casting pearls before the swine. Youtube is not such a reluctant audiance.
@ant2190 Nope. it's 1.750" your forgetting your tenths of a thou. the mic is a 2 inch so its 1.000- then the line is between the 7 and the eight on the barrel so thats .700- then it is directly on the middle line which is .050- So add those up:
I watch your videos and suddenly I'm 15 again and remember watching sword fights with files, getting sprayed with oil someone put in the keyholes of lathe chucks, and seeing someone pee in the kalamazoo saw coolant because he was too lazy to go to the bathroom. I have to say that I have learned more from you then I ever did in my high school. Thanks so much for your time and Knowledge!
Mr Pete, thank you so much for taking the time to post your videos, I really enjoy them. You do an excellent job of explaining things. I look forward and wait for you to post more. I vote you " Teacher Of The Year ". My favorite class in high school was metal shop, (class of 1968). Mr Phillip Knopp was my instructor, you remind me of him.
Another great video, many thanks. I got the inside micrometer ones wrong because I assumed you needed to add the 0.200" to the reading so I learned something there. Keep them coming!
Thank you sir, I missed one...went back and instantly saw my error. Please check your inbox, there is a long delay on my receiving your new videos. I sent an email message on the 13th, so maybe they are delayed as well. I enjoyed this series a lot!
That was fun! After 13 years in the trade I never been so excited to take a quiz on reading mics. I never paused the vid. except to check the answers, and got them all correct. Phew!! I'd be ticked at myself if I got one wrong. I cant get over how clear that camera is. I wish I could see my tools that clear in person. Another Great video!! Thanks
By coincidence youtube recommended me to watch a supposedly related video. Someone was opening a bottle of beer with a micrometer. I'm sure the anvils can deal with the metal caps, but what about the glass... Seeing that is hair raising.
Mr pete thank you !!!! this is so helpful i got only 4 wrong and i have never even touched one of these ,and i suck at math !! keep doing what you do these vids are so nice to learn from . clear and easy to understand thank you again for showing how it works

Can't help but be amazed at the lengths you go to provide knowledge to others.

Of interest I just found a Starrett Cat friend gave me years ago he was a Starrett
salesman No.26 I think is says 1923? so I checked what I have a No.3 with
case (velvet) $11.25 and my No.436 with ratchet and lock $7.75 mine are still
perfect imagine that, but they probably earned $5.00 a weel/ sam
