Micrometer Restoration: J.T. Slocomb 0-1" Long Reach Micrometer (Part 2: Paint, Assemble, Calibrate)

Second of 2 videos, where I show how I restore a vintage J.T.Slocomb micrometer. In this video, I paint the frame, assemble the mic, and calibrate it. I also (try to) explain how this particular brand of measuring instrument accounts for wear, and the unique method of zeroing.

thanks for taking the time to make this video. I just purchased the brand of micrometer you’re working on, and mine needed some adjusting. And I was not figuring it out. until I found your video, very very helpful 😊 thank’s and i hope you share with TH-cam your collection of micrometers.

I would be game for a small tour of whatever you wish to show us. Thanks for the tutorial.

Excellent work. That is a very nice deep throat micrometer. Please do show us the rest of them.

Great videos on the Slocomb mics. I have about dozen of them and agree the design is superior for adjustment. Do you know a source for the spring? I might attempt to make some of these.

Much appreciated!
If you're on Instagram, message "jtslocomb". He's another avid collector, and he's working on a production run of springs for Slocomb mics.

You're welcome! I'm glad I could be helpful.
I plan on making a video about my collection soon! I recently finished reorganizing my entire shop, and now that the dust has settled, I'll have time to get to that.
