The Future of Micrometers: New QuantuMike

[@CandyHam]

We still can't get backlit OLED displays? What the hell is going on with the measurement industry?

[@V8freaks]

More and more plastic parts on your micrometers ... In our company they bought over 80 micrometers from Hartig Germany, because the analog Mitutoyos now come with plastic ratches and plastic lever...

[@BMRStudio]

Meanwhile all German cars using more and more plastic on and in the engines! I wonder when they will put a plastic crankshaft into BMW engine 😂😂😂😂

[@V8freaks]

@@BMRStudio That's a general issue, worldwide

[@Ismsanmar]

@@V8freaks Are you sure? I don't see plastic tensioners on cheap EVs built on China...

Wanted: A set of different size micrometers that share a single electronic display module.

[@kellymoses8566]

You would have to constantly swap the display between the various micrometers? That would be a waste of time. And it would get lost.

[@drumbum7999]

the electronic display isnt the expensive part...

[@johannesfossi5561]

Why do you show i mm and not freedoms per eagle if its aimed towards american costumers

[@Pixelplanet5]

because the metric system is being used in the US since the Metric Act from 1866 and is the preferred measurement system since 1975 when the Metric Conversion Act was passed. All imperial units are defined as a conversion of a metric unit today as well.

And inches are not real inches either, they "adjusted" the inch to be 25.400000 mm, so your "inches" are now just derived from metric mm anyway, why use them?

[@404BYTE]

I can't go back to 0.5mm pitch micrometer after I used this thing.
