If i walked into a machine shop as a paying customer and seen a machinist using a caliper of that quality and condition I'd just turn around and walk straight out the door and find a professional machinist.
Thanks for the comment - Ha Ha, I agree, I'm just a DIY guy. As and when I can afford it, I try to upgrade my tools, I'll put a new Vernier caliper on my list.😊
You're right, there are plenty out there - What I enjoy is looking at various videos of a project I'm interested in making. I like that there are slightly different ways of doing things, and I can sometimes learn a tip or trick along the way. When I make a video, I try to add a little something that I didn't see in other videos. I guess, I'm not always successful. 😂 Thanks for the comment.👍
Ive one question - everyone does not like push type knurling tools and make or buy the scissor action type, but now everyone is making burnishing tools that operate identically to the push knurling tool that is shunned???? What am I missing?
Ha ha, you've got a point, however I must say, I don't put nearly as much pressure on the burnishing tool as I used to put on the Knurling tool. But you've given me an idea - how about a scissor type burnishing tool. 😊
I just made one with just a bearing (608ZZ 8 x 22 x 7) attached to a 1/2 bar tool holder stock, same as th-cam.com/video/eKJzPjWY4ow/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUWbGF0aGUgYnVybmlzaGluZyB0b29sIA%3D%3D, but I'm not getting any kind of smooth finish after running it on a piece of cold rolled steel pipe. Can't figure what I'm doing wrong. In fact it seam worse than before.
I think the actual Ball that's in contact with the turned surface does the trick. Just having a bearing in contact with the work piece, I believe is too flat. I have seen a tool like that used to center a work piece in the lathe. There are lots of TH-cam videos - Here's one to check out: th-cam.com/video/MroTc5Ic4_0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4eN4j1RjbZ_q7z7z Thanks for the comment ☺
Dang. That looks so easy, I'm going to make one tomorrow. Inspiring. Thank you

Very nice. Where in SA are you?
Hello, Thanks for the comment - I live in the Cape Town area.
Your profile picture shows the Mother City beautifully. I’ll be there in a couple of months again. Always terrific being in SA.
Fantastic - enjoy the trip.😀
With respect, why do you think we need yet another burnishing tool video exactly the same as loads recently uploaded.
