Great basics info. Wish I had this video when I started learning about measurements. Would be great to see a video on height gauges, pros and cons of the different types and what is good enough for day to day use.
Nice overview and the mention of "techniques" when it comes to using the metrology tools. Here I'm living through the "joys" of type 1 MSA (measurement system analysis) for our metrology tools. Followed by the hierarchy of measurement tools and their correlation. Gauge r and gauge r&r analysis. Including the topic of measurement system accuracy and error %. I've been told that a type 1 MSA "should" be done before implementing a measuring tool into measuring activity. Definitely a step up from "hobbyist" use of measuring tools, even a step up most job shops. But such is the job requirements I'm dealing with. (Also learning the "joys" of portable CMM arms and GD&T measurements)
Yep you are very right, when you use stuff every day you forget what its like to not have anything. Im saving for an engineers flat and a height gauge that is probably as much as I really need but its not cheap so one really respects this stuff when you do finally get it.
If you buy any micrometers buy a friction thimble micrometers they are the most accurate and easiest to use the ratchet thimble style needs more of a feel and not as accurate cuz you can continue to clamp as you turn it but with a friction it will hit your part and stops it won’t advance any more
Don't let the shop guys use them or they get filled with gunk or dinged up and no longer work. Even the rusty crusty mics with the ratchet end from the flea market still work correctly in dirty environments.
Use gage blocks to check mics like over 0-1 1-2 an up use a gage block to check your mics they are more accurate than the standards that come with the 1-2 and up size mic
If one has high quality dials and calipers , one could make own gauge blocks and compare them against the expensive ones. Or the most expensive ones are measured with laser based measuring equipment?

You’re a very good presenter! Really enjoyed watching even though I’ve been at this for a few years. Great job.
I really want a fancy ceramic gauge block set one of these days but every time I see the price tag I change my mind... Nice video man

Great content thanks for posting!

travers ttc brand is my go to for mid range tools. They are of solid quality and if something happens to them i'm never too upset.
Outstanding information

Ok 👌👌
was told when i started machining you get what you pay for.......only bought "US "made I'm talking back in late 70's
I.m interesting to leay micro Vue,can you you give me some guidance.
Calipers are nice and all but you will only trust calipers plus and minus.001 at my shop we never use calipers we use mics
Dont leave your mics closed
