Thank you for watching. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Mark, it took me 58 years to learn how to fully use this instrument. I thank you very much.
Your watch and learn is a goldmine of free knowledge!
I've been using these exact calipers for 5 years and never knew a lot of this. thanks!
I’ve had one of these for years and thought I knew how to use it. This was so helpful in learning the ACTUAL value of this tool - the Vernier scale! Awesome! Thank you, Marc.
Never trusted my wobbly plastic digital caliper, picked up a steel analogue one and now know how to use it 👍
Great explanation Marc! As an engineer myself these are one of the most useful tools of the trade.
Exactly!
Very thorough video. 10 out of 10. Show me how to use this device and all of it's ins-and-outs
Thanks, you just helped me with some college homework
Thanks tutor
And I thought I knee all I needed to know about these things. Mark, you never cease to amaze and teach me. Thank you for another great video my friend.
I learned about the 2 hidden measuring tools, and how I could be much more precise. I only knew the basics of the basics aparently. Thanks sir!
Thanks Cody. Glad you enjoyed and hopefully took something from it.
I'm a woodworker who mostly makes small pieces, like jewel cases, knife handles, and I just bought my first set of vernier calipers. Very nice video, clear and to the point. I'll definitely look at your watch videos too. Cheers!
Very instructive video, Marc! ⌚️🥃😎
As an old engineering, I love this throwback lesson!
Pellucid commentary! You talked and demonstrated all the questions and doubts out of me! Many thanks!
Saw the second hand on an old chronometer with a Vernier scale attached parallel to the second scale such that it could measure tenths of a second. Coolest application of Vernier scale I have ever seen.
Another great video, Mark! I had forgotten how to use the vernier scale, so thanks for the refresher! I have a slide rule laying around and have long forgotten how to use it. Both tools are great at teaching the importance of significant figures! Wishing you continued success in 2019!
Thanks Bill. Dust them off sometime!
Thanks a lot, I refer to this video every time I need to pull out my analog calipers.
Ever cool. I actually learned something new today. I gotta get me one of them old style calipers.
Thanks, Marc. Great video.
Great video and great information
Learned something. Thank you. A question though. There is slight opening at the end of the jaw. I tried to measure a small 11mm rod. The measurements in the front of the jaw are different from pushing the rod all the way inside the jaw. What gives? Which one is the correct reading?
Thanks Mark! I knew how to use it for coarse readings, I didn't know one can go down to 0,05mm!!...that's great! please keep the learning vids coming...kudos
No problem!!!
Should i polish my seiko 5 military ‘s case? Will it cause any damages to my watch ? Pls reply!
Great tutorial Marc ! Another plus, when you go to use them the battery is never dead. 😉
Very true!
This is a very clear and helpful video! Thank you.
Nice educational tutorial, nice way to leave the year. Happy New Year to you and your family.
I bought a plastic one from Harbor Freight to measure electric guitar bridges. This helped me UNDERSTAND what I was seeing. Thank you!
Just watched this. Learned something new. Love it. Thank you!
Thanks man. It's a big help to me. Greetings from the Philippines. Mabuhay!!!
Thank you sir, best simple explanation God bless.
Awesome! this is a great food for thought. Thumbs up.
My Pittsburgh plastic caliber are 95% identical to your Marathon ones. One of the complaints I have about my Pittsburgh digital is no rod out the end for depth measurements. I never knew about measuring off the head #3 till now. Thank you
Thank you. But I am new to this caliper stuff and I watched your video for the sole purpose of how to measure in inches became of my specific issue.
Thank you for this instructional video, mate. Well presented and narrated; cheers!
Fantastic video. Simple and to the point. Happy New Year!
Thanks, same to you.
Awesome.. Even my teacher back in the school days didn’t explain in a way that’s easily understood.. super and I really understood this now 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks!
Mark , Great informative video Can you purchase your calipers in the UK ?
Great video. This reminds me of my 1st year if trade school. Excellent plug for the Metric system. lol. I grew up in the mid 70’s when the transition was taking place in Canada so I work “bilingually” when it comes to measuring items. Thanks for the reminder. BTW I use my digital for everything. I find the plastic ones to fragile for my needs. Lee Valley sells “throw away” callipers.
Thanks for watching.
Just bought some digital ones but learnt something today. Thanks Marc.
Thanks.
Interesting tutorial Marc. Thanx! 👍😁
You are welcome
Thank you very much for sharing. Really thorough explanation. Liked and subscribed to your channel.
Hey,good stuff.When I was in surveying eons ago I was taught initially how to use techniques 200 years plus old .Triangles and maths and chains and poles!!!!! Did me no harm at all.Not a laser in sight! Happy new year,Len.
Theodolites and transits! As a mech eng, we never learned how to use that stuff. Dare I say I'm jealous!??!
@@islandwatch It works both ways,my dad was a draughtsman and mechanical engineer who taught me alot but I got into civils .Dare I say I,m jealous the other way also! To be honest my love still lies with huge civil efforts or static engineering if you like but anything mechanical still fascinates me.Cheers for the reply and respect.
Heyy
Can you explain why the jaws have the knife edges and why they have a small taper on the jaws?
Also some models have notches on the metal rode used to measure depth, can you explain that too?
Thanks Marc very interesting ! HAppy new year !
Thank you sir!
That was really great, thank you!
Yeay for the Metric System!! I still use my Mitutoyo that my Dad gave me in High School in the 70s
Anyone else watching this for school!?
Yes
😂yes bruh
Textbook shit
Really good video. Thanks. Happy New Year 2019 Marc. From Tim in London.
Thank you Tim.
Very interesting and informative.
5:53 hahahahah "nevermind i found something" don't know why but I loved that man
Learned something new.
Thanks Mark!!!
You are welcome!
Excellent explanation!!
This was awesome. Thanks Marc
You are welcome!
Thank you for your brief and informative video
Thanks for that one Marc, something else i know...Thanks for posting.
Thanks for stopping by!
Great video 😊. Thank you so much
Great video. I will be looking forward to the next watch n learn: trigonometric calculations with a slide rule!
SOH CAH TOA!
@@islandwatch Hahaha
Thank you Mark.👍
Thanks Marc. I like Vernier calipers because you don't have to worry about breaking anything. When I was a mechanic we had to have two sets of tools, one SAE and one metric. I prefer metric.
You and me both!
Thanks marc! really appreciate it!! Im Qai from Singapore!
Thanks you showed new dimensions to caliber use.
I see what you did there!
Reminds me of using my old school slide rule. Good to know how to use tools, no matter how old.
Sure is.
what is the grove near the middle for?
Thanks very much , I got important information 😁
Very interesting. Happy New Year
Thanks.
Great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great video
what is the notch for pn the depth pin...
I have been a linesmen for a cable company for about 2 years of my 14 year tenure. We use about 5 different gauge trunk coax cables. When I started I used calipers to measure the thickness of the cable to determine what size connector I needed. The vets would make fun of me for using them, but now I can tell by eye what size cable it is without having to measure. Plus the size of the cable is etched on the connector but over time it would wear away due to weathering. Sorry for the long rant.
No worries; thanks for watching!
Thanks u clearly got and understood it a 100% now
Marc, where would 1.135" be on the vernier Caliper
Long ago I bought an inexpensive metal vernier caliper from the auto parts store, with the intention of learning when my disc rotors became too worn. Never used it for that, so it's now my watch measuring tool. No ink on the indexes makes it a squinter for sure, and the instructions were crazy obtuse. I can "see" why digital display calipers are a thing, and surely what a working mechanic uses?
Thanks for spelling it out; now it's as if I gained a free tool!
The other day I learned my iPhone can measure things by looking at them. Now I never leave the house.
How many millimeters does the vernier caliber indicate?
Thank you!! 🤝
I don't understand at aprox. 9:20 you said it was 21.85mm. It's not 21.8mm? Why did you add 0.05mm to that measurement? Do you have to add on 0.05mm to everything on the vernier scale?
WOW...thx ...I'm still learning at 66 yrs old
Happy New Year Marc.
Thanks Bill; same to you.
Excellent.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Some of the old timers at work would refer to calipers as Verniers, regardless od the scale on them. Kind of like Kleenex and tissue.
Exactly
how do u determine divisions
Thank you sir
Howzit Marc, super vid as always. Think you could get the rest of your country to switch too metric too? Mmm?
You can let me know, I'll hang around here...
Lucien, from Cape Town
I doubt it! They are pretty ingrained!
Great video! Can u make a watch and learn for how to modify nato straps and neatly cut and burn it if the length is too long and also remove the shorter flap for those who like a lower profile nato strap for the watch to be sitting on it
Thanks for the idea; I will keep it in the bank.
I wasn't aware of method three. Verniers are fun. I wish they still made radios with vernier tuning scales.
:)
I learned to read Vernier scales in grade 7 shop class. None of my students today have ever taken a shop class. Schools here don't seem to offer it anymore.
Honestly, I graduated engineering school in 1998; we never used verniers.
Thank you
Now I know how cool this tool is.
You learned me something. Thanks. Lol
Nicely explained!👍
But I thought you guys (USA) used imperial measurement for everything?
I’m Aus so we mainly use metric🤔 (unless in the machine shop)🤪🤔
I was a refrigeration mech & our copper pipes were imperial, but plumbers use metric pipe sizes (just to confuse the issue)🤪👍
Anyway happy new year & all the best for 2019 Marc🍾🍻👍
We do. But for watches, the world uses metric for most measurements, so it just makes it easier.
Very cool
hey mark, i gotta ask... you must have spare monsters... id even take a returned item... i just wanna get my hands on one, i miss my srp313 everyday and i have a monster sizehole where my heart is.... not a good way to start 2019.... i miss you seiko monster
Nothing, sorry.
:O First time I watched a watch and learn where I knew everything! I know stuff! I'm smart!
LOL! A refresher then!
I was waiting for you to show how the inch vernier was supposed to be used. I'm in europe and I need to measure US ammunition.
Gripping video Marc!
A real nail biter!
Awesome :)
Thanks
Elementary my dear Watson... good video
Thanks!
Whats the best watch around 20k ?
Whatever watch you like that makes you happy.
helpful :D
If i dont use my watch, should i pull the crown out to stop it??? Just think of this may help the system could have break time!!
If it's a battery watch, yes.
Are these more accurate than digital?
Digital will allow you to go down to smaller increments, but relies on batteries and various transducers.
