I use this method to measure the cylindrical wear of an internal combustion engine. It's extremely precise, but time consuming, versus the more popular dial bore gauge. However, I continue to apply this method, because it is the method I was taught, and feel most comfortable with.
@atvmotocross38 Although I have heard telescoping gauges called snap gauges, it is not a snap gauge. Please Google snap gauges. Thanks for your comment.
@@machiningmoments but your anvil is flat. Wouldn't holding the telescoping gauge straight and taking a measurement with your outside mic be more accurate than wiggling the telescoping gauge while trying to mic it? Thats the part I can't grasp. When I take sizes on a bolt, I understand moving it because you want the widest point of the bolt. But the telescoping gauge's convex sides are the same size or smaller than the outside mic's anvil... why wiggle the mic feeling for a brush instead of just taking the size?
You can but in my experience they are harder to use in that you have to "fish around" with it to find the widest point.And a lot of machinists use an outside mike on them to get the measurement because they don't trust the measurement on the inside mike. They are hard to get the hang of.I much prefer the telescoping gauges it the hole ill allow it. Over 6" of course it is inside mike time.
@@machiningmoments There is a new method that you can measure with internal dial bore gauge of course you need a setting ring to master your dial gauge.
Excellent post. Nice to finally find someone who knows the "correct" way to operate an ID...Thank you for sharing.

Lynx Star Automotive It works well!
Great video, very knowledgeable and helpful information!
Thanks, I appreciate the critique...I'm getting better!
Excellent Video - Thanks very much
I will be using this as a training vid for a few of the guys new to the T-Gauge
I hope it helps with your training, thanks for your note. Good Luck!
Perfect timing. Thanks for the information in this post.
Glad it helped, thanks for watching.
Very well presented and explained. Thanks
I'm glad you liked it thanks for watching and your note.
Hey thanks for making this video to answer such a basic question that I did not know the answer to!
Glad to help, thanks for taking the time to say so.
Nice video machining moments. they are Starrett. Around $250 for the set i believe.
Yep, just what I needed. Thank u!
Glad to help, thank you for watching!

Yes they are, good eye. Thanks for your post.

What brand for telescoping gauge are they? then have a rather nice surface finish not the normal satin finish.
The tips actually are convex, it is hard to see in the video.
@DieselCrawler86 My mistake they are Starrett.
Why don't we just use a *inside micrometre* for this application? : /
That will work as long as it is small enough to fit in the bore.
Why are you moving the telescoping gauge as you try to measure it? Seems like it would be impossible for two people to get the same measurements.
The ends are slightly convex, I'm trying to find the high spot.

Nice sir thank you 👍🏻
Thank you for watching and leaving a message.
Thanks for videos....
My pleasure. Thank you for watching and making the time to leave a message!
@DieselCrawler86 I believe they are Mitutoyo.
Dude you sound like Jordan Peterson so much it's unnerving
I've heard that before. :)
@@machiningmoments haha well thanks for the also helpful content!
Thanks for your post.
why cant we just use inside micrometers?
Most inside mics won't go smaller than 2". If you can get one in the bore it will measure fine.
That makes sense! thanks! :)
