That trick with the micrometer is fantastic, I'm definitely going to have my newer guys use that to get a hang of using these. My biggest problem has always been knowing how much drag I should be feeling and I never thought to use a micrometer like that. Thank you so much!
Great work sir. The information you shared is very helpful. I beg your pardon sir...can I please ask you to help me out measuring the action of my guitar if I sent you pics of my guitar action being measured with a school-days ruler. I don't have a feeler gauge or a guitar action gauge tool. All you need to tell me is that what you see is that the space between is higher or lower than the benchmarks I would share with you. The ruler starts with an empty space and that is what causing a bafflement. If you don't want to or can't, it's ok sir. Atleast I asked for an expert. Thanks.
@@DrivelineMaster thanks. I did unscrew the friction knob a bit, and that helped a little, but it's still tricky. The gauge is new and drenched in a fairly runny oil. Dunno if that could make the fiction worse from surface tension or something...
The oil keeps them from rusting however I wipe the oil off if I'm going to be using them a lot. If they go back into the toolbox and sit for a while I will oil them back up. Sometimes a really light penetrating oil can be used which will protect them but not make them stick so much. There only needs to be a light film so you can oil them and then wipe them off. This will protect them for a while. Reapply every 30 to 60 days depending on if your weather promotes rust more than other weather conditions.
No. 0.010" or .010" is Ten Thousandth of an inch where 0.10" or .10" or .100" (all the same) is ten hundredth or an inch or one hundred thousandth of an inch or one tenth of an inch (also all the same).

Thanks, i had a doubt about if my measurement using feeler gauge are correct, checking it with the next size is a good technique, thanks for that
Great explanation, thank you so much!
Great video
It will be better if we measure in Millimetre easy is it possible, cus i am getting confuse by inches
Millmeter's are better and simpler however I grew up in the USA with inches. I may do something with mm one day.

You can send me pictures if you like but I'm not sure I would know what to look for on a guitar. Feeler gauges are inexpensive on Amazon.
good tutorial
:D Appreciate it!
Do you have any tips on how to avoid kinking the really thin gauges? They are so delicate and easy to bend as you try to unfold them...
I'm sorry I do not. Just try to be extra careful and don't force them too much.

Nice one
is feeler gauge 0.010 also known as 0.10 gauge?
No. 0.010" or .010" is Ten Thousandth of an inch where 0.10" or .10" or .100" (all the same) is ten hundredth or an inch or one hundred thousandth of an inch or one tenth of an inch (also all the same).
Isn’t it 3500th not 35k th
Most likely right. Sometimes the CC is not 100% correct. I tried to fix the CC to indicate thousandth whenever possible.
