I’m doing a test on precision measuring tools for millwright! And I understand this more solidly than what my instructor was explaining how to do it me being the only one who doesn’t do millwright work The most we use at my job are calipers

Kalamazoo name sounds Asian, doesn't sound American, I wonder who came up with that name and why

Thank you. I felt rather stupid struggling with the instructions provided with my micrometer, this makes understanding and using the tool so much simpler. cheers guvna.

Thankyou

So well explained! Thank you so much

I repeat what others have said, Thanks very much for this information.

I was doing some machining today and had no idea how to read these and my measurements were all off, now I see exactly how I was reading them wrong

Just ordered

Do they make work stops for front to back?

Bit too chunky. Great idea but hard to get in to tight spaces for more intricate work

How did we go from the barrel to the sleeve?

Kurt this awesome ❤

This is great. There's another video, actually one of those old training films, that explains why the vernier scale works. Simply put, it doesn't line up exactly with other scale, for example it might, for example, divide a fraction, for example 4/5 of a main scale, into 5 parts, of the vernier. In that case, a vernier line is 4/5th of the main scale. Then by finding the line closest to the main scale, you can work out the next decimal place ( I am terrible at explaining it, but there's videos with competent explainers :)

Thank you sir, I just started a new job that requires me to learn this and this was super easy to learn thanks to you.

great simple video with good examples and explanation

Have to watch this every few months when I occasionally use mics lol

Hi, I would like to ask a question. Please. I have the tailstock aligned on the horizontal axis but slightly higher on the vertical axis. Do you think this is important? Should I also adjust the tailstock on the vertical axis? Thanks.

I love you Kurt!!! 10 years working at my job and I was finally able to read a dial caliper with YOUR help!! Thank you!!!!

Maybe in 300 years the Americans will discover the simplicity of the metric system and how it helps prevent errors.

Excellent video 👍

You have a link to a file selection guide on the Travers site that I would think cover a lot of the information presented here. However the link is dead... 404 error.

Thank you i still remember this stuff going to a job interview tomorrow just making sure im still up to par and i am :D

I've never in my life heard them called tape rulers and now it just seems crazy that we call them tape measures. I can see measuring tape but now im confused and upset. I'm gonna go have a ling think about some things

I always loaded the vice from the end of table, so not to ding up the center of bed from them keys.

Thanks for the wonderful video it was fantastic, I would be interested to find out if that other mechanism was a spindex indexer and would like to see a video on it's use if possible, once again many thanks. Jim from Australia.

Thank you I just needed a refresher and this video was perfect

Who gives a fuck about hundred thiusnads and yhousnads just fucking right 1.015 or whatever the fuck it is!!!! Fuck you and fuck this video fucking worthless!!!!

You’re a genius

Awesome tutorial! Answered all my questions 👍

Thank u

Hi! Might sound like a no-brainer, but are the TRACKS on which aluminum windows slide ALSO aluminum? Windows are leaking rainwater,, and a window specialist told me to drill a few extra holes on the other side of the track as extra weep holes through which rain can escape. Bottom line is, I wanna use the right drill bit for this metal Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated.

Very simple Thank you.

I bought that same bar, and sent it back. I rolled it on my surface plate and the machined ends were not in line. It rolled like a bent axle. The literature said the accuracy was verified in the U.S.

Great video!! I know some of the written numbers are in the description, I would had love to see the on screen as you explained.

Thank you so much this was very helpful! My friend bought me a pair of calipers as a gift which were supposed to be digital but he accidentally sent me some dial calipers and I had no idea how to use them. I didn't even know they still existed since every set of calipers I've used has been digital. Either way they were really expensive and I told him I would do my best to learn because he gifted them to me and I'm not a jerk when it comes to gifts.

Video is too quiet

Thank you! So many people just show you how to measure a live end and not the spindle.

THANK YOU !!!

helped a lottt, thank youuu!!!

Thanks! Had a micrometer-reading test in my Automotive Fundamentals class today and almost failed. Luckily my instructor is allowing the class to retest and he'll go over the material again. I'd say it's time I learn it properly! 😂

Nice video, all except at the 6:18 mark. I'm surprised it's been two years and no one caught that he entirely misspoke at that measurement when he stated. " 4.409"...

Great video and great information

Is it same for imperial

Would have been much easier to explain in decimal instead of fractions. 1 and 1 hundred and 25th of a thousand is better conveyed as 1.125 inches.
