I'd like to be able to measure over a wide range. Currently I have a hand-me-down 1" mike which is nice but limited. Instead of investing in a bunch of different micrometers, I thought a dial or digi

You're going to get a lot of replies like this, but basically calipers aren't accurate enough to measure those things. For bores, I use a bore gauge I got from Enco. You need a bore gauge to get accu

As with most things in life, it depends. If you are measuring bores and cranks to the level of accuracy that allows you to determine if they've been ground zero, once or twice, a dial caliper will be

Quality precision measuring tools are well worth the investment if you plan to have any quantity machining work done. I will spare the details, but it is amazing how many mistakes even a "quality" ma

I have a 6" dial caliper that I bought from Harbor Freight Tools. Paid $14.95 on sale. I bought two more for my Dad and Brother for Christmas. I'm using it extensively during my engine rebuild. Took

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10th of what? "tenths" in machinist's lingo means one tenth of one one thousandth of an inch: .0001", in other words. Most mics achieve this with a vernier scale around the ba

While we are on the subject of micrometers what are the recommended brands? I don't do my own machine work, but I do have a need to check that parts are within spec and I do send work out from time t

Earlier this week I asked about measuring tools. As it turns out, for my needs (how much has a cylinder been bored was a recent need), and given my budget, a 6" dial caliper is going to be my next pu
