Inside micrometers are not my favorite , but there is a place for them in the shop. We will demonstrate how they function and show some tips to get the best readings.

Hi. I want to thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. I find your videos very instructive and you make them fun to watch. Thanks.

These don't look ideal but I'm glad you still made this video to expose us to this.

Great information thanks! For sure there’s a huuuge price difference. A few hundred for micrometer set with extension tubes that goes from 50-300 or 50-500mm, vs. many thousands for a small set of 3-point handle snap inside mics that doesn’t even cover a very large range. For “normal people” either manual inside mics or a set of telescoping gauges is the way to go unless you’re only measuring a single ID all day long and only need to buy a single expensive gauge.

I use an inside mic myself ...but that pistol loaded unit is awesome . Wish I had one. Love the video showed it to my wife so she could see , how I'd mics are not easy to use and take some experience.

Great Tip Don! I subbed to you a couple weeks back and I have gone back and watched most of your videos. You have a really great way of explaining things. The history of your company is really cool, good to see you guys thriving, doing well, and producing great tools and online content for us less experienced to learn from!

Dear Mr. Bailey lovely video as always, thank you for your time and energy that you put in making them. Also i would like to ask are you doing in house thread grinding ? If yes, that could be very interesting to see. Best regards! :)

Hi Don, I really enjoy your short sharp video style. Amazing what you can learn in just a few minutes eh?PB UK

You should do a video on the difference between the rod style inside Mikes and tubular. Also you have all these videos on micrometers but none on how to calibrate them or take care of them. Just an idea, keep up the good work!

Hi Sir. I have seen several of the people on youtube using those things, and by the time they got their measurement, you had to wake me up out of a deep coma. You can see them wrestling with those things with their big fingers into a small hole, and it takes hours. No I think those things have reached their expiration date. Marcel.

Don, you mentioned that the bore gage is expensive, and that is a limitation to be sure. What you failed to mention is that the bore gage also has a limited range of measurements. So, to duplicate the function of the bore mike, one would need a whole collection of bore gages. And some measurements simply would not be possible with bore gages (e.g., measurement of a 12 in. inside diameter). Great video, as usual my friend.

As I don't have the feel for ID mics yet (matter of fact I don't own an ID micrometer), I would go for the bore gauge every day. I even got bit by an ID micrometer I borrowed that had a pitch error as it was pressumably dropped. 3 point micrometers sound like a good choice but the price is kinda stingy...

Don: Love your videos. Ok, I got started right. I went to work for Wagner Mining Equipment. We had a QC guy, he constantly walked around the shop, spot checking everyone's work. I said... " Don, here are my micrometers, you wanna set them for me?" He said... " I can't, you have to do that " It doesn't matter how hard you crank your micrometer. What matters is... can you do it the same way twice. I lent out my ID Mics to a local calibration company. In return, Clint calibrated them. I just laughed... I never even read the ID mics. I put them in my OD mics, and use that number. What if there was a dust mite under that 1/2" spacer? Just how fat is a dust mite, anyway??? \ Anyway, a couple threaded pointy sticks could replace any ID mic I own with a nut in the middle. Take them to the OD mic, and get the feel. Thanks again!!! Mark

Don,Thanks for posting! Hey I think it would be a great idea if you could show people how to set a dial bore gage like a Mitutoyo 511 series and also dial split ball like a Starrett 82z series with gage blocks close to the bore size one is about to measure (also ring gages as well but remember not everyone can afford a bunch rings but they usually have gage blocks: at least a 36 piece if not an 82 piece set) Thanks for your consideration.

Gday from down under, Calibration of our measuring equipment where I work is done by a company in Brisbane QLD. I have found errors in the outside mic's checking them to the standards that come with them. We use mainly "Mitutoyo" which is in my opinion - top shelf gear. Can the standards that come in the box be trusted? or should I trust the people that calibrate our mic's? they are not cheap to have done! I have my own personal mic's & look after my own & they seem to be more trustworthy! On a final note, I bought an older set of "Moore & Wright" depth mic's at a flea market, what is the best way to calibrate them? they are 50mm to 300mm I've had them for a long time & never done them. Cheers - Peter Spence.

That fancy 3 point gage is useless though if the print you are working from has a roundness callout of less than .0005".

Like you say... Don't even worry if your ID Mics are true. Get the feel, and put it in your OD mic, and take that number. My Metrologist borrowed my ID mics, and in return, he calibrated them. I just laughed. I don't even read the ID Mics. I don't care what they say. My OD Mic's are on.

The whole point of having it read true, is so you can practice with a calibrated ID mic to a setup ring, then practice for feel
