Your voice is so relaxing, also glad you said different ways of saying the numbers, it's frustrating when people assume I know number lingo. Studying for my job so I don't look or say something foolish. Thank you for the refresher!
Thank you for the very in depth explanation of using this, and how each part of the dial indicator is used and read. People like me (woodworker) who are not engineers or machinists use these to set the accuracy on our tools. But I had never seen, or used one prior to learning this trade. So this was very helpful! Awesome explanation!
Thanks for watching. Woodworking tools could be checked for axle, blade, or bit runout to minimize chatter marks and fiber tearout. One example is here, although shot on a demolition not a precision tool th-cam.com/video/VS0pIOQEy6M/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the explanation. To some it may be boring but I appreciate the way you teach (explain) and leave nothing to guessing. Dont change anything in the way you present these videos except if you could use a pen instead of a sharpie.
This is a perfect and clear explanation. I am new to this. I just obtained an old Starrett indicator, and have been trying to figure it out. Thank you.
worked on a golf course 15 years ago using accu gauge and setting hieghts recently got a job on a golf course and could not for the life of me remember how to use one. your video brought the memories back thanks
I just started work at NTN Bower on a outer diameter grinder built in the 40s, as I feed the parts in they are coming back around on a conveyer belt and I have to check them on a dial indicator which I have no clue as of now how to read, today is my 3rd day on the job, I hope I can get it, thanx for the video, numbers and math are my worst subject
You can do much more than just runout on rotating items with a dial indicator. At work I use a dial indicator to measure the side to side movement of rudders among other things.
G'day and thank you very much for this maths lesson on reading a dial gauge I found it very helpful and I have subscribed so that I can go back over these lessons. Kind regards John Tasmania Australia
I hope you didn't take my comment the wrong way.. I wasn't trying to be malicious. Your video was actually the most helpful for me. The dial indicator essentially divides an inch into ~1000 units or 1.000" One turn of the dial = 100 units or 0.100" Five turns = 500 units or 0.500" Nine and a half turns = 950 units or 0.950" The small dial usually shows the count of turns out of the available ~10. Your dial seems to only show 5 at a time.
+mewk Thanks for sharing. As peoples minds work slightly differently, every new angle is appreciated. I have no claims to make "will-work-for-all" videos. Cheers.
Hi,sir I know that you teaching would be spot on ,on the way you explain on this video,how to read the dial and how to write the decimal or fraction , But I am having trouble why as a fraction ten thousonths of an inch is written 1000 and not 10000.to me how you written 1000 shows me its one thousanths ,could you explain please,
Where can I buy the dial indicator? Where I work at, we use the dial indicator alot. To set inserts radius on the machines. That way inserts can cutting parts. Exp. 5.50 mm (+/-) 0.10 mm
Look around pro/industrial local tool suppliers (they carry the brands that work and customers trust) who carry tools for machinists and millwrights. Some other ideas Lee Valley Tools, Grainger.
Thanks for this video, really informative. I had a question. I just purchased a dial bore gauge but mine is only half and inch. It rotates 5 times for 1/2 an inch. Do i read it the same? it has 0-0.25 on the face. Any help would be appreciated. thank you.
Favio Escudero In principle it reads the same. The following makes sense in terms of manufacturing and gearing an instrument: 1 full indicator needle rotation on the face must advance the tip the maximum distance printed on the dial face. If you have a dial face 0 - 1/4 inch, 4 full turns must make 1 inch of travel. Check it, does your have this 4:1 gearing built into?
apprenticemath My gauge is half an inch unlike yours that's an inch. The guage is just like yours on the video. However, as explained, mine reads .001 graduation and it has 0-.25. Now, if my math is right, is .001 times 100 equals to .1 and .1 times 5 turns (which it only does) equals to .5 (half inch as the needle). Do i read this gauge at .001 graduation?? sorry for the quesitons just condused. I bought it from amazon and it indicated it had graduaiton of .0005; however, when i got it this was not so on the gauge. Thanks.
Favio Escudero You are right, that`s how it`s geared, that`s how its read. Now about the 0.0005 - the painted marks are at 0.001, measurements can be taken directly when the needle is aligned with the mark. The precision is 0.001 When the needle is between 2 painted marks, you estimate the last digit to be 0.0005, round up or down. Say 0.003 plus a little is either 0.0030 or 0.0035 Or almost 0.157 is 0.1570 or 0.1565 Here is my video on significant and estimated digits th-cam.com/video/HFBrC5XMDO8/w-d-xo.html
I know it’s been 4 yrs since you asked your question. Hopefully you finally got the correct answer. If not here it is. You have a 0 to a quarter inch indicator. So one revolution is .05. Next revolution is .10 3rd rev is .15 4th rev is .20and final 5th rev is .25 So The last rev is 25/100 which reduced down is a quarter of an inch. Hope this helped
So if I am trying to find 4 mm BTDC on my engine (to set the ignition timing), and I am using an Imperial dial indicator, a depth of 4 mm would equal .1575" . So .1575" would be roughly the "16" mark on the outer dial. Correct?
You are correct that 4mm equals .1575". Drop the last 5 for this is called 1/2 thousandths or tho for short. So you have 157 thousandths. 1 turn is a 100 then go 57 more
Hello can you help me for this question? A dial indicator is used to measure ___________. A. Positive readings only or B. Shaft eccentricity, thank you, cause im confused for my exam reviewer same questions but both A and B are the correct answer, i think there is some correction there. Thank you.
Besides a logic glitch, A or B could be correct. Or neither. A reading of any kind is NOT what's being measured. Dial indicators measure length. Length includes diameter or radius, which are also length-type measurements, both run in a straight line. Eccentricity is calculated from the measurements, not directly measured. It's a topic in metrology, and is somewhat philosophical. A better test question is "What is the reading in this picture", but ... Sorry about the late reply.

Sir you explain very simply to understand everyone,I watch lots of video regarding DTI but you are amazing.
You couldn't have explained it any better. Great job.
Thank you for the excellent and clear tutorial! I now know how to read my dial indicator.
Great video. Very thorough and easy to understand.
Thank you very much! Bought my first indicator and came with no instructions. Your video is very helpful.
Good explaining sir. To day learn good reading dial gage. God bless you sir. I am Sri Lanka
The reply to Binness was fantastic. Warm regards
+Harness Winergy Thanks for watching
VERY PROFESSIONALLY EXPLAINED VIDEO, THANKS A LOT FOR THIS EDUCATIONAL VIDEO.

please share how to read proving ring reading and how to calculate itslist count.
Good teaching
Glad you think so!
thanks for your video
or you can measure the difference between two cycles in any other kind of repeating motion to.
Thanks a lot this is very helpful
No worries!
Explained very well... but there are some shortcuts to the same result...

The last indicator you showed .
Is it 0.314?
its on 4th division right?
Excellent!
Yeah man , right on the spot!
Hi,sir
I know that you teaching would be spot on ,on the way you explain on this video,how to read the dial and how to write the decimal or fraction ,
But I am having trouble why as a fraction ten thousonths of an inch is written 1000 and not 10000.to me how you written 1000 shows me its one thousanths ,could you explain please,
Very well done
Thanks for the video, I've learned a lot.
This video was very helpful because I have red dear exams coming up nest week
What's a red dear exam? I've heard of white tail deer, but never "red dear." By the way, how did you do on your red dear exam?
Would you please demonstrate dial indicator starts with .0005 " that would be more helpful thank you again.
Can not be shown accurately, number too small, it is exactly halfway between 0 and the first painted line (which is at 0.0001)
Where can I buy the dial indicator? Where I work at, we use the dial indicator alot. To set inserts radius on the machines. That way inserts can cutting parts. Exp. 5.50 mm (+/-) 0.10 mm
Look around pro/industrial local tool suppliers (they carry the brands that work and customers trust) who carry tools for machinists and millwrights. Some other ideas Lee Valley Tools, Grainger.
it would be easier to grasp if the presentation was done directly, then explain the facts.like showing a part being measured, and read the reading.
Very helpful. Thank you.
I am understanding 1/100 =0.01
what I called in inch
what is means of filler??
Clear and easy thanks!
Love it! thank you!
Glad you like it!
Very helpful video. Thank you!
A 20 min video but worth listening
Great teaching ! Thanks a lot.
Very good videos
Kindly provide the details of DEMEC Strain gauge with working and design
Thanks a lot ❤

It was actually 300of1000 plus 14of1000 and not 13 so it's 314of1000 hence .314
Honestly, the instructor's very knowledgeable, but I'm scared to stop watching, his voice intimidates me.
Thanks for watching
Very good... I think I mostly get it, but I highly doubt I could use the damn thing. lol
If you need this video you are in trouble. If you can't figure that out....good luck.
great video ,
Thank you thank you!!!!!

thank you that's very clear
i want to know to align the couple coupling
Helpful big time. Thanks
So if I am trying to find 4 mm BTDC on my engine (to set the ignition timing), and I am using an Imperial dial indicator, a depth of 4 mm would equal .1575" . So .1575" would be roughly the "16" mark on the outer dial. Correct?
Not even close. After 15 full turns "75" mark on the outboard dial.
(Sorry about the delay)
Nice Trabi.
You are correct that 4mm equals .1575". Drop the last 5 for this is called 1/2 thousandths or tho for short. So you have 157 thousandths. 1 turn is a 100 then go 57 more
@@apprenticemath I think you should check your math
well explanations
At 19:34 I guess it is 14 not 13 so it would be 314 not 313
Right, 0.314 or 314/1000
