Phil, I'm a retired farmer who has picked up machining as a hobby so I'll never have the skill set that you have. However, I enjoy learning about this craft and greatly appreciate your willingness to share a lifetime of experience with us novices. Thank you.
I have a few of these, Starrett, and Mitutoyo. The one I use most is a 1 to 2 inch when I measure pistons from the top to the piston pin hole. Beautiful and clever mics. Thank you for all your work in keeping the trade alive.
Excellent video! As a mechanical engineer and beginning mold maker I have made a few molds for wax injection. This is new to me, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience, it means a lot to me. Thanks Phil!
Thank you. I will definitely check out your links. I'm glad I was recommended this video. I found another use for my Unimike. Subscribing for sure. Thanks again for sharing.
I too am retired and have now got the time to try my hand at machining and I really learn a lot for your videos, not that I can action much of what you show. Ive never seen one of the micrometers before. I wonder if you could do a video on what a disk micrometer is used for, I've seen some being sold as gear micrometers but I cant see how they would be used. Thank you for all the time you must put into these videos to share your knowledge.
Thanks for very good video, im 70 now retired and my most prized possessions are a starret anvil mike and 1"2"3"mikes the joy of learning from the man who gave them to me when I was young and dumb he took the time to teach me and yes most tool and die makers are anal they have to be
Sound is much better on this one Phil. I bought a pair some 30 years ago. Originally to measure the liner protrusion on Diesel engines. it did not take me long to figure out the other uses, especially with the pin. Nevertheless it sees frequent use in my day to day machine work. Good stuff sir. Edit: I do have a question on second thought. They make a 1-2" version of this mic. I have never found a reason to use it nor do I have one. Have you (or anyone else out there) used or use a 1-2" #220?
As an Austrian-German, i fully support state mandated Mul-T-anvil micrometer propaganda... These are such beautiful, high-performance design pieces which in a way make the regular micrometer obsolete... You could replace the regular micrometers entirely with this design and adapt it for larger radius pieces and not a thing would be lost by switching the industry to this type of mic entirely... At least in the 1 inch or 0-25mm range, they should entirely replace the normal micrometer... There is not a single instance where this design is not at least equally as good for the task at hand, plus it offers remarkable leaps in your ability to perform other measurements without the need for an entirely separate metrology piece... It is remarkably utilitarian and thereby extremely cost effective, as it is a piece of fine engineering and not just a common consumer grade product... Hell, trade school teachers that don`t draw the young machinist`s attentions to these are bordering on criminal negligence in their duties as an instructor... It is such a marvelous design... I have my mitutoyo 1micron 0-25mm normal micrometers(yes, more than one, i have a disease and a fetish for quality pieces), and they are amazing tools, but they pale in comparison to this design of the same specifications... The same goes for 0.01mm 0-25mm normal micrometers... It is just a superior design overall... Best regards! Steuss

Thank you, Phil. I love that I will learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Much appreciated!

Nice video Phil. Young folks starting out need to know the history of the trade. It makes them better if they know the nuts and bolts.
Indispensable tool! A must have!

"COOL TOOLS!!!!!!"... THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO!!! ["SHARED"]
good explanation
As a tool maker what kind of coolant would you run in a die casting mold or an injection mold? Thanks for the informative video.

Starett no 220 $408. Mitutoyo $244.

Tube micrometers with a spherical anvil and those precision balls that fit on the anvil could also be made obsolete.
EDM was a cutting thing😂
CNN? You have a good evening. .
Not sure what your point is?
" EDM was the cutting thing" hahaha, good
