As a machinist and a quality control gage tec alot if what you did had me cringing but all in all good job you didn't mess up the internals so that's a good start get it calibrated and you just may be good. It is either a mitutoyo or a Starrett micrometer. I use many like this one on a daily basis at work. Love your videos brother keep up the amazing work.
That micrometer looks much better than before. At least you cleaned all the rust off the parts when you disassembled it. You might not have gotten it accurate but you had it working again. Excellent work.
I once had to use an ultrasonic cleaner to get a suppressor off a rifle that had been left out in a barn for 10 months. Absolute horrendous job and the cleaner stripped the coating off the pistol. But they are quite amazing at getting down in the pitch of the threads and getting rust, dust, dirt and oil out. Great job on this project.
That's a great effort man. They can't always be perfect and I like seeing something not work out exactly as planned for once as it truly happens to all of us. Great job!

Great Magician Great toolmaker You’re very successful to restore Micrometer!!!! I think engineers want to meet you for any restorations. It’s amazing work! See ya next project 😊
Unless you recut the fine threads OR changed the length of the quill, I say it will be as accurate as it was manufactured to be... The fine threads set the accuracy if the quill hasn't been changed via thread change or length. To zero it the end stop plug can be adjusted to change that... JMHO!
As long as it gets recalibrated I can't see any reason it wouldn't be decently accurate. If it measures well on a few different gauge block stacks I wouldn't have any reservations using it.

Great restoration!
As a gauge technician I find this to be very interesting. You really got it looking good and working.
At the very least, it’s a precision c-clamp. Nice restoration, it looks great.
Your ability to restore and generally fix shit is beyond impressive!! And so is your workshop 🎉
Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored well done
This was excellent. You really went all out. Love the result.

Very fine resto. Interesting video.
Beatiful restoration 👍👏 Congratulations and Greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪👋

You'll have to have it tested. The chances are it may still be operating accurately. Nice clean up. It looks brand new.
Beautiful restoration. 👍👍

Great toolmaker
You’re very successful to restore Micrometer!!!!

See ya next project 😊
Great video it really turned out nice thanks for sharing
Very good
Enjoyed watching
Looks great... Starrett makes an oil specifically for micrometers
I miss the dad jokes you sprinkled in there. But you always do amazing work
I like that it was about the restoration, not the destination.
Nice work 😊
Great video as always,keep doing what your doing.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
It's probably more than accurate enough for a woodworker!! ;)
So nice

Przepiękne jest to odrestaurowane ten bardzo stary mikromet pozdrawiam twórcę tego filmiku serdecznie 👍👍👍👍👍👍
tak!
The name plate looks just like the ones on my Starrett mics. I would wager that some of the engineers at my shop could not accurately use a mic.
Amazing, that is all
*OUR* rusted micrometer
Good job. What kind of paint did you use? I like the wrinkles.

Muito bom bom
Parabéns ❤❤❤
After all was said and done, how accurate was it?
Great job. You have a new subscriber. 🙂
Well done, sir. Did you ever get the chance to see if the calibration was off?
Brilliant job of restoration, however. I'm not sure it'll ever be accurate. Thanks for sharing.
Very impressive restoration!
yeah, i never seen such idiots before
A comparison would have been nice, but you imagine how many things that measured over it's life a tool with a life well lived.
Nice recovery. I'd use it, but like you say...not for anything critical.
Класс 👍👍👍
❤
Làm được đấy
It's a decorative wall-hangar now. I wouldn't trust it to give me an accurate reading on that block.
Please tell us where did you get this Rusty micrometer??
is there a link to the rubber plugs you used?
Subbed and liked the video. Goo Job.
This may be an old Stanley micrometer; their headquarters and manufacturing is located in New Britain, Connecticut.
wow
I thought I saw “new Britain” engraved on it
All my mics were curling up in their boxes at the sight of that poor relation !. At least it looked good at the end of its restoration☺
A set of Gage block's would test it for correct
“It’s perfect”
As a machinist this hurts my soul
It can be used for training and education. Who cares if the student drops it.
No way he picked the right allen wrench first try
👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏🥃🥃🥃 13:03
There is specjalist who can calibrate this micrometer for u.
I thought I was a old soviet weapon
Just add a hammer cross it, and voila you can rule the world
Omg was that a 5l tub of WD-40 I just saw!!!
You should probably get a better rust remover that one sucks.
Well, it was useless at the start of the video.
It works now and calibration will tell you if it's "out".
Короче,писта микрометру..
❤❤❤
Probably not a good idea to hammer and use a punch on a micrometer. Would be interesting to see what a real machinist thought about the accuracy now
As long as it gets recalibrated I can't see any reason it wouldn't be decently accurate. If it measures well on a few different gauge block stacks I wouldn't have any reservations using it.
Not restoration just cleaning if its not precise.
