That is not a 1 inch standard for the micrometer is is an adapter. You see it is a O-2 mike on the arm. That “standard” clamps on to the anvil so you have a full 0-2 range. That is a neat kit!
I was going to say the same thing, you beat me to it. I inherited one of these neat mechanical digital Mititoyo calipers just like that one. It wasn’t zeroing correctly on the digital section, had a bit of an adventure going in and jiggling the little clock works inside to adjust it properly. It’s not my go-to for “precision counts” work, but it is heckuva convenient for a quick measure.
Loved the video Mr.Pete. I absolutely watched the entire video. Went perfectly with my cup of joe!! Thanks for all of your wisdom...it's very appreciated!!
Thanks for more of the "behind the scenes" coverage of your last auction action. I think a nifty dial indicator dial could be enlarged to make a handsome shop clock..... Changing the index marks, of course.
Enjoyed the repeat and deeper review. When you review the Mitutoyo micrometer, show how to adjust or zero the digital and thimble scales. I purchased a set of Mitutoyo electronic digital micrometers when my eyesight began to fail and I thought that permanent blindness had set in. I couldn't read a rule within 1/8" at that time. The electronic micrometers are beautiful and display to .00005", but they are very clunky. My eyesight recovered after 1+ years and was virtually fully restored within 2 years. The doc said that blocked ducts wouldn't permit accumulated blood to drain from the eyeball. The experience made me very sympathetic to folk that suffer vision loss. I only machined one project after purchasing the micrometers before my eyesight began to improve. I have used the digital height gauge extensively since then, but I don't think that I ever used the digital calipers much. I have gone back to conventional measurement tools, and the electronic tools are saved for another day.
I enjoy your videos as an aging bird, I watch and go check my tool sets. I'm retired and go into my toolroom and reminisce of what was. Yes I have a lot of stuff like you.
I watched all of it. It's class, if you pay attention you can learn something. I come across tools that I don't know what they are. This where I learn.
Your Mitutoyo digital mic is out of wack on the digits. The mic thimble shows something like ".121" and the display shows ".0067". Might want to check it out. Thanks for the content, you had my un-divided attention for the whole class today! Ken
That octagonal handled vise is astonishing! It truly is amazing, as you said, the beauty made into the tool which not only set a maker apart from the rest but shows real pride in what one makes. Nearly $600 for such a tiny chuck, heck that much for any drill chuck, is outrageous. I understand it's a precision tool with (there better be) zero runout (considering how delicate those timy bits are they'd break at the slighteat hint of runout) but DANG (!) nearly $600?! That's insane. I know I have a similar chuck floating around in my shop somewhere. I doubt it's an Abricht (or however it's spelled). If it is I need to store it in the safe don't I? Enjoyable, entertaining and educational as always Mr. Pete. Thank you so much dor continuing to put out videos. Take care of yourself and the Mrs. All the best.
Thanks Mr. Pete I did watch the hole thing. Enjoyed every second of it. I would like to see a video on the tapered pins. Always learn a lot from your videos.
Thanks, never or almost never tedious, same with boring! I'd say taper pins are not dowels, they are for holding pieces together, better strength then a roll/split pin, dowels are straight, sometimes hollow, used for alignment between parts that are bolted together. Better then bolts with a shoulder for doing the same alignment thing.
That little hand vise IS well made! Sometimes I don't watch the stills at the end, but I always watch all of the main video, regardless of length or subject.
Wonderful video, sir. I am fascinated by these tools. I have started learning about precision tools in the past few years from an older gentleman at work. I love the manual tools and older way of doing these things. Thank you for sharing things that can't be learned nowadays!
Mr Pete, Watched the whole thing. Enjoyed the detail and your comments -- always learn a lot. Never did much machining so always so much to learn. Thanks so much for what you do.
Loved this video! Definitely 💯 percent interested in a taper pin video though I know about them from my work experience. Thanks for the shop courses they a great resource.
Of course I watched the whole thing! I have a handful of federal indicators, some for parts. I have two marked in red like yours. One says "Textile Machine Works" and the other "Aminco". Both have been heavily used and are battered.
I always watch all, so as not to miss anything. I, as you, also enjoy the look of the older tools and they spent a lot of time making them with a neat design. Even some of the simplest tools were made so nice to look at, you almost hate to use them. I think they respected the tools that were made that way, and thats why they are still around, and in good shape.
Always watch every moment of your videos especially the plunder videos! Love to see the sweet plunder, Starrett boxes galore! Awesome video, excellent Tubalcain
Keep them coming. Always enjoy anything you post. Show me how to make something. At 79 I am looking forward your expertise and learning something new (to me). Hurray for you.
Lyle - Another wonderful video for Saturday morning coffee. That wooden boxed taper reamer set is called a Hand Reamer Set by the US government, per their NSN (National Stock Number) on the label. That's the top 13 digit number. The set was made (or put together) in 1992 by the Houston Cutting Tool company. You can tell that from the CAGE Code (Commercial and Government Entity) which is the alpha numeric next to the date. More useless trivia to add to the coffee on a Saturday morning. LOL. Only those of us who were in the military or a government contractor had to deal with all of that. Just make sure you don't make a mistake on the NSN or you'll be like the guy I knew who had ordered resistors, made a one digit mistake, and got a railway locomotive. Probably a tall tale but a good story because that is how the two numbers checked out. Have a good day.
I have always been interested in tools, both old and new. I have learned a lot watching your videos as they have helped me to ID a lot of tools and helped me seek out others I have seen on here.
Thank you Mr Pete. I very much enjoyed this video. That hand vice could possibly be as old as the 1700s. Also, I found a Swiss made B&S calipers in a $1 box at a pawn shop. The Cristal was missing, it was filthy and marked up but it zeros out every time. I leave it in my truck where it gets knocked around and it is still accurate. It made me a believer in the Swiss made Broun & Sharpe
I have an Albrecht chuck, marked 0-1,5, with an attached handle. I use it along with my other pin vises to drill small holes when I'm making or modifying parts for my (HO) model railroad. I didn't realize it was quite that valuable.
I worked in a air pollution lab for 44 years and we had sets of those wires in different sizes and used them to unplug gastight syringe needles. They would get plugged when injecting through a rubber septum on occasion. One possible use for them.
Hi Mr Pete. 👋...I didn't get a good look at those little wires but they appear similar to Dental wires. I found several tubes of various gauges. My wires were all stainless steel (think they used em in braces). I've actually found them quite useful for cleaning small ports on carbs, or oil holes etc. Thanks for sharing and have a happy day 😊 ps..I had to edit....yes I watched the whole thing. No gonhelp Henry find his nickel.
Got out in my shop for couple hrs today Lyle. Found myself a our First Monday sale this morning, but all the old vendors that had machinist items have dried up and gone away. Guess my search for 5c collets will have to be on ebay (@@)! Nice score Lyle, and always a treat to see what you will drag home :-). Stay warm and best to Jeanette & Henry from ole Bear. Boy, I lived long enough to see our Tx Rangers win their first world series,,,,hope our Creator above allows me one more in 2024??
I watched the hole video as I always do.. I enjoy your videos and how much you get into your tools and equipment. I've learned a lot from you and will continue to watch. Later
I have a "new old stock" set of starret telescoping gauges. Never used, and unfortunately never will be. They are locked frozen solid due to what im assuming is the original rust inhibitor they were packed in has completely solidified in all of the internal components. Most importantly those very close fitting sliding shafts. So they will NOT move. And yeah, I've tried everything. I've even tried boiling them for an hour thinking that maybe the boiling water would work itself into those shafts to loosen that stuff up.
@@mrpete222 Thanks Mr Pete, I'll give it a shot. They're just sitting a drawer right now anyway, and I've got some PB, guess they might as well be sitting in that. Maybe they can be salvaged after all, would be nice to see them work again.
As per usual, I watched every second. One never knows when you're going to drop a pearl of wisdom and I want to pick up as many as I can carry!
So very true!
Of course, I watched the whole thing! 😊
I'm a 71 year old student. Once a teacher always a teacher. Great vidios.
I watched & enjoyed the whole video but the best was seeing a smiling young Henry.
That is not a 1 inch standard for the micrometer is is an adapter. You see it is a O-2 mike on the arm. That “standard” clamps on to the anvil so you have a full 0-2 range. That is a neat kit!

I watched it all, and would have watched another hour of this video, thank you.
I watched the whole thing
Yes Mr Pete we watched the whole thing haven’t missed one yet thanks again
Yep...I watched the whole thing...and I enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!
Mr Pete, I make effort to watch all your videos and I watch to the end.
I watched the whole thing. I love your blog. Keep it up, please. You do not need to apologize for your content. EVER.
I appreciate that!
Wasn't a dull moment and I enjoyed every minute! Old-timer knowledge is hard to come by nowadays. Thank you for sharing!
Loved the video Mr.Pete. I absolutely watched the entire video. Went perfectly with my cup of joe!! Thanks for all of your wisdom...it's very appreciated!!
Why would anybody not watch the whole thing?
Thank you for showing us all these wonderful things from a better vanished time.
yes the hole vit thank you.
I always watch until the end. Thanks again.
The flat bar with the notch with back plunger was in the picture you showed in catalog page.
I watched the whole thing, the micro chuck was a great find.
Thank you Mr. Pete always watch your videos to the end never know what you might miss.
Thank you for sharing your experiences . It’s really great seeing these tools .
Thanks for making these videos - both the facts and the opinions(!) are equally fascinating.
Thanks
Thanks for more of the "behind the scenes" coverage of your last auction action. I think a nifty dial indicator dial could be enlarged to make a handsome shop clock..... Changing the index marks, of course.
Adam has an enlarged indicator clock on the wall of his shop.

Mr Pete, I really appreciate how much you enjoy showing and talking about your quality tools. BTW, I especially like the Bronze Jack.
I’ve been looking for this channel for years after watching one video. Happy I’ve finally found it again!
👍👍👍😄

Yes, I wonder if I can zero it out
Great tools,mrpete.Thank you.

All the best.
I paid $30.27 online for a 1/32-5/8 keyless chuck with MT3 shank.
I just watched the entire video.
Thanks Mr. Pete I did watch the hole thing. Enjoyed every second of it. I would like to see a video on the tapered pins. Always learn a lot from your videos.
Hi MrPete. God Bless! I hope you have a Wonderful Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas with your family and Friends !

Yes, watched it all and enjoyed it all. Lots of interesting tidbits. Thanks for all your efforts.
Watched to the end. I could hear the excitement in your voice as you went through most of those items.
P.S., given my issues with close sight, I love the old analog digital micrometers.
All the way to the end. Henry is getting big.
That little hand vise IS well made! Sometimes I don't watch the stills at the end, but I always watch all of the main video, regardless of length or subject.
I watch all of your videos from start to end. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful video, sir. I am fascinated by these tools. I have started learning about precision tools in the past few years from an older gentleman at work. I love the manual tools and older way of doing these things. Thank you for sharing things that can't be learned nowadays!
I watched the whole thing and enjoyed every minute!!!! Thanks for making it!!!
As my usual evening routine I watched to the end. Thanks for for dedication to tools.
Very nice finds! Watched the whole video nostalgic for me as my dad was a machinist and very much appreciated quality tools as do I. ✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻
I always watch the whole video Mr. Pete. Thanks.
If I watch it is the complete video. Nice auction score. That hand vise is beautiful.
I have watched every video you ever made from start to finish! Lots of them numerous times....
Wow, thanks!
@@mrpete222 My pleasure!!!
Mr Pete, Watched the whole thing. Enjoyed the detail and your comments -- always learn a lot. Never did much machining so always so much to learn. Thanks so much for what you do.

Starrett oil comment reminded me of a Greek cooking channel I watch, "If the olive oil is not Greek, the recipe will not succeed." 😄
lol
Of course I watched the whole thing.
Definitely a video on tapered reamers!
Thank you for the content Mr Pete!
I always watch the entire video. Nice collection of tools there, that was a great haul.
Love all the tools maybe I’m just nuts I really do enjoy these videos
Glad you like them!

Thank you so much 😀
@@mrpete222 your welcome
Another great video MrPete.
I always watch your videos all the way through.
All the best.
I watched the complete video. I enjoy all you videos
✋yes a video on those reamers would be good. Great auction haul again ! Yes I watched the whole thing. I liked the smaller octagon hand vise.

Brian from Ma.what a great video and laugh package will be there Monday Thanks.
That tiny hand vise is Neat-O ! Love your channel Mr. Pete.
👍👍
Lyle, Good afternoon. Nice video. Regarding students being "motivated" ah, that is the task of teaching at times to instill it. Take care.
Thanks Mr. Pete. ...enjoyable 'till the end!

Tighter than a bulls rear end WHAT ???? ... HAHAHAHAHA
Here’s another one I once heard about an extremely wealthy man. “He’s richer than three foot up a bull!”
Nice tool haul Mr. Pete! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Lyle, I watched all the way through as usual. 😊Yes please on a video (or two) about taper pins and matching reamers.
Watched end to end. I bought a small 2" vice from a store for a song, they thought it was a toy.

Glad to hear you are back in the shop. Best to keep yourself occupied if you have the strength
We will continue to pray for you for healing
I have and use a Brown and Sharp dial caliper just like those , from a yard sale in Hemet , CA. Thank you .

Try Liquid Wrench, Marvel Mystery, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or kerosene soak. Can’t hurt since you’re not using them.
@@ellieprice363 yeah gonna try soaking them long term.
Enjoyed Thanks Lyle ! Made it to the end..
