How to use an Imperial Micrometer and Imperial Depth Gauge

#howto #micrometer #engineering
With my new lathe now installed in the garage workshop I am keen to get stuck into using it - time to learn how to use an imperial micrometer so that I can accurately measure things!

Excellent video and very timely. I also have an old Land Rover(Series 3 88" SW, since 1989) and both collect and appreciate old British made measuring tools. At present I run a JLR dealership in Canada and this past week I had an apprentice approach me with a couple micrometers that were just passed on to him from his grandfather in the UK. I started to show him how to use them but then suggested he find a good video on TH-cam to learn properly and I will be forwarding him this one. Cheers!

Nice one! It’s great to be of help. Thanks for watching!

I could make the joke that the first step to using them would be to buy metric ones, but still, an interesting video.

Either works! Just learning imperial myself as most model engineering seems to be done that way
