This is the best explanation of several vids. My first reading attempt was a parallel bar. I hit the 'zero' past or not past the reading line right off! Good job at catching the trouble spots.

[@bcraftmath]

Thanks Robert. Glad I was able to clear some things up for ya!

[@sigrunfrohlich5083]

Great explanation - designating the different parts in different colors was very helpful. Thanks for posting this - just the right amount of detail.

[@bcraftmath]

Glad it helped.... thanks for commenting.

[@deborahdoughty1051]

I am doing small engine repair and trying to understand something I have never used was difficult. Your explanation helped me to grasp this concept and be able to read it with no problem. Thanks a bunch.

[@bcraftmath]

Awesome! Glad I could help.

This was the most helpful video on micrometers I have seen and helped me on my Mechanical comprehension study guide. Thanks!

[@bcraftmath]

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

[@felixf5211]

This came up in my feed. I know that I can show anyone how to read the gage in less than 5 minutes. Why was this made to be so complicated and convoluted? There's an elegance to simplicity. Reading the comments, amazed is the first word that comes to mind. Last thing, a correct reading hinges on the _feel_ of the operator. Maybe spend some time on that.

[@Ademann]

Very helpful for German mechanics. Thank you!

[@peterhallahan8098]

I'm new to this stuff. Very, very helpful. Thanks.

[@bcraftmath]

You bet! Glad it helped.

[@johnq3543]

Great video, very helpful to me! Thanks

[@NorbiGaming]

Great explanation. I couldn't imagine how to read the half mms...

[@tammysears1036]

You are awesome!!!! Thank you so much for this information. I can understand it!

[@bcraftmath]

Glad it helped! 👊

[@patpathinayake3586]

Dear Brandon, Thank you so much for the comprehensive video on both Imperial & Metric micromters. I pick this as one of the best, clear and concise educational videos I have ever seen. Love your colour coding as I do this for clarity hence avoiding ambiguity. Could you please tell me what is the software you are using? I detect a fabulous soothing southern accent... Best wishes

[@bcraftmath]

Haha... Definitely southern. I live in eastern North Carolina. The software I use for writing notes on the screen is Smart Notebook. It's an older version of the software, as the newer versions require yearly subscriptions. I got this version of Smart Notebook by purchasing the smart slate, which included the software. Though this software and the Smart Slate are discontinued, they still work quite well, minus the support that the company no longer provides.

[@patpathinayake3586]

Thank you very much for the enlightening data. North Carolina is a picturesque place. I have seen lovely images. I work with a windows professional pack & MS Visio. Your set up is brilliant. Thanks again for the comprehensive data.

[@bcraftmath]

You're welcome. Carolina is a beautiful state. Couldn't imagine being anywhere else. However.... that doesn't mean I would decline the opportunity either, if the right situation arose. Thanks for watching and I'm glad the tuts help!

[@ocean2ninechrist921]

Thanks teacher very good , very clear concept .

[@bcraftmath]

Thanks! Glad it helped.

[@timsmith4519]

Nice job explaining

[@Strategicps]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@bcraftmath]

Thanks Tim! Glad it helped.

[@johnott4211]

Great video . Please make another showing how to read the 4th decimal place.

[@bcraftmath]

Thanks. I might be able to get this made, but not anytime soon unfortunately. Got a lot of projects going on at the moment.

[@sus-o_0]

its helpful man thanks for that.

[@prashoongupta7908]

Thanks PLZZ make video on vernier scale and deapth gauge

[@bcraftmath]

Feel free to make a request for a tutorial video over at my website. You can find the link to make a request in the description of any of my videos. Thanks!

[@hiddenrainn]

Very helpful. Please make videos dealing with venier calipers.

[@bcraftmath]

will do! Thanks for commenting!

[@bcraftmath]

+HIDDENRAINN It's uploading now my friend. Should be viewable soon!

[@hiddenrainn]

***** okay thanks! I just had my test and this helped me a lot!!!!!

[@bcraftmath]

+HIDDENRAINN Great! Glad it helped!

[@Si74l0rd]

I prefer using imperial when I'm making things, but I gotta admit reading mics in metric is a lot more intuitive.

[@bcraftmath]

Base 10 is a good thing. 👊

[@707SonomaComa]

Fantastic video. Is a Thousandths of an inch more accurate than a Hundredth of a millimeter? Which one is smaller? The reason I ask is because I am going to get a metric micrometer set and Mitutoyo offers both 0.01mm and 0.001mm Is a 0.001mm necessary?

[@bcraftmath]

0.001in. is roughly 0.0254mm., where as 0.01mm is approximately 0.0004in.

[@707SonomaComa]

@@bcraftmath 0.01mm are finer measurements than 0.001" I guess there is no real practical or "must have" reason for a metric micrometer that measures in thousandths of a mm like Mitutoyo 103-130, the 103-138 in 0.01mm would be fine.

[@Rudy339]

Can you measure with a standard micrometer and then convert to millimeters? Specs are in mm but I just have a standard set of micrometers. Thank you

[@bcraftmath]

Of course. Use the conversion 2.54cm. = 1in.

[@Rudy339]

@@bcraftmath excellent, thank you. Only problem is I am not sure how to apply this conversion once I have my measurement in inches. Do you multiply your answer by 2.54?

[@bcraftmath]

Exactly....

[@Rudy339]

@@bcraftmath thank you!!!

[@abhilasha8737]

Thanks

[@ashokkumarsaxena7867]

Nice :) I studied this a year ago in 9th standard lol

[@bcraftmath]

9th grade?

[@ashokkumarsaxena7867]

Brandon Craft yeah 9th grade Micro Gauge right We did some practicals too

[@bcraftmath]

That's interesting. First time I ever had to teach it was at the college level.

[@ashokkumarsaxena7867]

Brandon Craft anyways it's some extra cool stuff...!

[@magnumjohnson9628]

Thanks dude

[@bcraftmath]

You bet!

[@Aisyah-pw8ku]

Yep! Come back with questions....

Tôi là người việt nam máy anh nói tôi không thể nào hiểu được mong máy anh giúp đỡ dịch ra tiếng việt nam tôi mới hiểu được xin cám ơn máy anh giúp đỡ cho tôi

[@bcraftmath]

If google is translating this correctly, I'm guessing you got someone to translate this video for you. I'm glad they did that and that the video helped. If you would like, feel free to submit captions for this. Thanks!

[@autumnfragrance7185]

Just a micrometer with a digital readout

[@bcraftmath]

Digital is much more convenient.

[@paulieramos]

My eyes are fucked up, I can barely read the 1/4 .5 3/4, lines. I wear glasses, guess i have to keep practicing cause I wanna be quicker. I'm Johnny on the spot with a tape measure, especially if it has the eighths.

[@bcraftmath]

Same here... the older I get the tougher the lines get to distinguish.

[@rhorstman100]

Nice graphics

[@bcraftmath]

Thanks man. I cover several measurement devices in a math course I teach for the skilled trades students at the community college in which I'm employed. A lot of the guys I teach say they ACTUALLY USE THIS STUFF. A math instructor likes to hear that.

[@kellyglover4198]

Yes. I used it today and what you teach is critical for the development of their professional careers! I use what you teach every day, in some way. Keep doing what you are doing! :)

[@bcraftmath]

Good stuff. Thanks again!
