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?

[mrpete222]

@pepesempire CORRECT!

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.

@cougarman07470 No-do not file it. What is the brand of the mike?

[mrpete222]

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.

THANK You. 1968 is the year I started teaching.

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.

Two thumbs up! Thank you so much!!

Excellent teacher, Thank you.

@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:

1.000 .700 .050

Total of 1.750

@mrpete222 Isn't #15 1.500?

[BCLSundayFunday]

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?

[pmfsv]

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

That 20 question quiz was a glistening red cherry atop a "perfect cake"!.

Kudos (In the most literal sense of term)

[1fabiansalas]

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! :)
