Those are an Asian version of the familiar ladybug. You can recognize them by the pattern of white dots on the head forming an "M" (or a "W" depending on which way you look). Not only do they stink, they bite! (Not a venomous sting, but a moderate pinching bite.) They were imported to control some other pest (on almond or pecan trees maybe?) and as usual when you mess with Mother Nature, they became a pest in their own right. We had them here in Michigan in swarms in the 2000s, but they seem to have dropped back to a mere nuisance in recent years.

It's called an Asian Lady Beetle, and is indeed an invasive species in the US, and does stink. Nothing else to add, great video, now just have to get myself a micrometer with a mechanical readout. I have dozens, but only completely analogue.

I was just given one of these Starrett #216 a few weeks ago. It sounds like you were having the same problem I was with the little click/sticking point. On mine is was any time the 2 came up on the last counter wheel. After taking it completely apart I was still baffled as to what was causing the sticking. I cleaned everything meticulously but still it persisted. Finally, by accident I discovered the problem had to do with the angle of the analog rollers in relation to the gear that drives them. Once I got that just right, the click was gone and it's smooth as silk now. But it was a very touchy adjustment on mine to get it just right.

I've had a lot of trouble with that kind of foam. I think its of a oil type base that does just melt and I have had a lot of video cameras, tools, and test equipment that have been infected with that stuff. If you are lucky enough to get it cleaned of, the plastic pieces get soft and some times, and you just keep finding it leaking out of everywhere. This seems to be a very common thing to find in most any fragile equipment. Gun cases used this a lot also. Like your micrometer, you are lucky it just went to powder. If it had melted, it gets into anything that moves, and you would have to take it all apart to get that stuff out. If you have any thing with that foam in it, this would be a good time to get rig of it before it breaks down. After it melts, and it is not found right away, the next thing it does is turn into a very sticky tar, and then you might as well throw that equipment away, it just destroys the quality and hardness of some metals. (springs, hinges, and stuff like that) To get to the point, it needs to be removed before it starts to break down. I enjoyed the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a Good Day!!!!!!!!! Michael

I was perusing Ebay this morning and found a 216 on auction, a few hours left before closing, no bids, $9.00 minimum. It's metric, length not stated, but it looks pretty much like yours (perhaps 0-25mm?), and that's a hole in my mic team. I didn't know anything about 216's, so I searched, et voila! Here I am. Since you like them so much I bid, and ended up getting for it $32 including shipping and tax. It has a locking ring, a full scale on the thimble, don't know if that's Imperial or Metric, and a vernier on the shaft. Of course it could be crap, but what else are you going to do when you can't hardly leave the house? BTW, we're the same age, but I'm learning and you're teaching. Thanks.

I have never been able to get rid of that feel once a tool develops it, and I would guess that it is due to a slight wear, distortion of the gear teeth, or adjustment of the carry gear shaft.

Mr. Pete, I have one just like yours. When I got it, it had a really rough spot once around. Was not that hard to remove the digital mechanism to see what was wrong. Just take out the the two screws all the way and pull it out. It helps to remove both covers (top and bottom). Taking it apart, found the gear on the spindle was cracked - plastic deteriorated and fractured. Had to take the whole mechanism apart including the thimble to remove the gear (same wooden handle trick). Glued the gear together with cyanoacrylate adhesive, the more viscous kind. Also the top cover with the lens was cracked around one crew. Same fix. Timed the gears, calibrated. Works great, runs smooth and checks out against two other micrometers (Lufkin and Starrett) and a digital one (ashamed to say HFT but it turns out really accurate). My go-to mic now. BTW: I do not understand how Starrett quality ended up being degraded by cheap plastic in the main spindle gear. Oil tends to destroy this type of material. The counter gears and drums are and will be OK. Except for the window. Never overtighten the window screws. And even then it is likely to fracture in time.

I just got several dial calipers (including a nice compact Fowler 4"), and will be pulling the (always) dead batteries from my collection of digitals before storing them away. I think I will also be on the lookout for something similar to the #216 for micrometer work. (Between cataracts and presbyopia, I am also getting to where optical assistance is required for reading anything so tiny.)

Informative and entertaining video as usual, Mr. Pete, your anecdates are always interesting. May I suggest that, if you are going to show something briefly, you show it so we older subscribers (I'm only 68!) have time to take it in, sometimes I have to pause the video to get it all. Is it possible at all to have a monitor plugged into your camera? That way you could be able to manoeuver tiny screws, nuts etc by watching it on a bigger screen?

Thank you for watching. I actually intended for people to pause the video. Otherwise, the video may run too long

Great video Mr. Pete, thanks for showing us how that works. I like the mechanical digital too, it's the best of both worlds. And you're right in that it's perfect for the videos as well. Nice gift from Russ!

Setting the thimble to line its markings up with the line on the barrel isn't entirely pointless, as it allows you to estimate tenths.

You should mention that after zeroing your mics you should verify it againt a 1/3 and 2/3 range standard to insure calibration and proper operations.

Now, after seeing this episode, you make me to want one of this micrometer, and I don't have so many machinist friends here in Cyprus. Anyway I admire your patience. Good work mastre-Petro.

Thank you for a very interesting video. I have some old micrometres here, so now I know how to calibrate them. Before I do I will certainly get one of those magnifiers that you wear on your head, as, my eyesight is not the best anymore.

Nice tool. I recently treated myself to the Mitutoyo version of this and it's the mic I keep in my shop apron. Not only is it so much easier to read than a traditional micrometer, but it retains the mechanical coolness, like how a dial caliper is more enjoyable to use than a digital one, but lacks the fussiness of an old-school vernier caliper.

Can an individual own too many micrometers? I also own more than 50. None are electronic.
@mrpete2226 жыл бұрын
Yes, I have about 50 also. Makes no sense, but we love them
