Mitutoyo IP65 Coolant Proof Digital Micrometer Review

Quick little review video of my new Mitutoyo IP65 digital micrometer.

May I suggest that when you do put the mic back in the box to store it; seperate the carbide anvil surfaces. They are precision ground and they may seize together. You will find it very difficult to get them apart.

[@aryesegal1988]

as an addition to what vajake1 below me said, due to temperature differences in the shop, the anvils (as any other material) will tend to expand. storing the micrometer when the anvils are close together will have them pressuring each other (due to them hitting one another, wanting to expand), which might affect their true-ness or other precision mechanism parts within the micrometer itself.

That mic reads to fifty millionths

[@daywalker627]

Very nice tool. That is definatly going to give you some great readings and lots of usage....

[@spinesales]

@daywalker627 Thanks bud. They are built really well!

[@mmcilwain12347]

That's a precision instrument you got there Pathfinder. I was hoping you were gonna say something about that rifle you were working on in the background. Hint, hint.....

[@spinesales]

@RemMan700 Yeah I love it. It was a little spendy but worth it.

[@RemMan700]

Very nice mic.

[@spinesales]

@mmcilwain12347 Yeah its a nice one! I did make a video of what Im doing to the rifle in a different video. Just have to edit and upload.

What vajake1 below me said. Always store micrometers with the anvils apart.

Just bought one.. struggling with setting the origin - instructions are very confusing to somone like me with no xp with these devices. I'm getting the impression I was meant to get a "standard bar" as per the instructions, which it looks like I don't have strangely. Sigh

Nobody's asked - in 4 years - what the heck "coolant proof" means. Is it like "waterproof" to 185-meters? You can dunk it in coolant 185-meters deep and it still works? Or does it mean something completely different?

[@jhonnyheller2234]

we cut metal on band saws and constantly have to get our mics wet with coolant. these mics are a godsend.

[@BobDarlington]

Mike Spike it meets IP65 ratings for wash down duty. Google it.

[@tchill12345]

I don't know if someone told you that but the last digit is for the half of 10000 of an inch...you can only read 0 or 5 no other number will be displayed

[@waboom248]

Kvn lang 50 millionths

[@TheScottification]

Where is your tension knob?

[@lenty2000]

Nice

[@mmcilwain12347]

@spinesales - Good deal. Can't wait.

[@ericx4124]

Does it shut off by itself?

[@spinesales]

@lenty2000 Thanks bud

[@sspence65]

You can interface a Mitutoyo to an Arduino or Raspberry Pi. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqfXZqqYhquhprM

That’s 50 millionths bud
