Good video on this subject. A little pointer however; The micrometer is actually designed with one hand operation in mind. The ring finger hooks around the frame which balances/wedges in the palm, and the thimble is turned with the thumb and forefinger of the same hand. It takes a little practice , but learning to hold the tool properly makes measuring much easier and keeps others from thinking you're a novice.
First day of my apprenticeship my mentor handed me a micrometer and told me to hold it and when I tried holding it with 2 hands he yelled at me about how I’d never get another job if I held a micrometer like that. So yeah definitely a big deal from differentiating from novices
Thanks for the video. I just started learning how to read measurements on calipers and micrometers, and this video let me know the more applicable uses between the two. I was wondering about 6:50, where you mentioned the relief cut on the caliper. What would be an example where you would need to use that feature?
Catawampus? Where are YOU from? :-) I am familiar with calipers from working at my dad's machine shop back in the day. I even had to read a vernier. Now I need a tool to determine what gauge strings the builder put on my hammered dulcimer. I think measuring to the nearest thousandth of an inch would be plenty. After watching the video, I'm still not sure what I need.
Pennsylvania! ;) It sounds like a cheap caliper would do the trick. If it's not something you'll use often, go with a dial gauge style that doesn't require batteries.
Good video…BUT I hope nobody ever expects you to build anything-with 30 years as a builder behind me, I cannot remember even one instance where 1/4” or 1/2” or wire was considered an acceptable tolerance. 1/16”and sometimes to 1/8” are generally acceptable tolerances for general framing-good trim work goes down to 32nds and 64ths--Please know what you speak of

Thanks for the video man. It helped me study for the auto and shop part of the asvab.
Wow so much good info here, thanks Zach
Great video. Thanks!
sir,you are a talented man

The most common example would be on a freshly cut piece of metal that has not been de-burred.
@@ZachFields Thank you
Thank you, but can I ask which one is more versatile?
The caliper is far more versatile.
What would be best to measure outside nut size in order to figure the right size wrench?
The Caliper I would think would be plenty.

@@ZachFields Thanks.
I accidentally paused at 9:09, was about to start ripping my shirt off.
can micrometer caliper measure the circumference of a circle?
Micrometer no, but some digital callipers do have a circumference facility.
Both Lidl (Parkside) and ALDI (Workzone) have sold those types, recently.

He is making an example as a reference, not teaching you how to stud a house, or cut dovetails for a heirloom piece. Thought that was infered.
