- In this video I will show you how to disassemble, and reassemble a import dial caliper. I am not a professional, and am not in any way certified to do this, I just like to fix things, with that said, I hope you will take something good from this. Thanks for watching!

Ray, I have the same caliper as you show in the video. At this point the only thing I don't know how to do is the setting of the backlash. It doesn't look like you have covered that step subsequently, nor could I find any other TH-cam that does cover it. Would you mind describing in words how to do it? Does the tension get set while the dial is removed from the rail, or does it get done once the dial is back in place? Thanks.
Hi dave, Yes i should have covered that step. With the caliper jaws clean and closed to zero, place the gear into the rack ten install the needle exact on zero. Set the backlash with the small leaf spring and you back in business!
@@RaysGarage Hi Ray, thanks for the reply. I may need a bit more clarification though. Where is the small leaf spring located? Do you mean the copper bar under the two set screws, one with the "tit"? I've adjusted that one, and it doesn't help. I still can't get repeatability of zero position when I close the jaws. It varies by several thou on either side of zero. If it's not the copper bar, I'm afraid I don't know where the leaf spring is. Thanks again!
@@daveg7 Hi Dave, Yes the copper bar is for setting drag for smooth jaw movement. If it's not repeating on zero first verify the needle is tight on the post, if that is ok it sounds like the little gear is slightly worn or wear on the rack. there is not a backlash setting on this style caliper that I know of.
@@RaysGarage Hi Ray, thanks for the reply. I decided I had to disassemble the dial movement to see if I could figure it out. And indeed I did - there is a spring tensioner on one of the two pinion gears, the one that's visible through the moon-shaped hole when you take the white dial face off. Took a while to determine how to establish the spring tension, but once I hit upon the method, it is easy. My caliper is back to working as it was before I dropped it :-( I took pictures, but there doesn't seem to be any way to post them here. I will describe as best I can. When reassembling, only slide the brass spacer bar (gib) back in part way - maybe 1/2" - at the jaws end. The idea is to force the pinion gear at the jaws end, and ONLY that pinion, into contact with the rack. Then you tilt the traveller so that the pinion gear farthest from the jaws is NOT in contact with the rack. While holding everything in this position, which can be done with one hand, place a tiny screwdriver into one of the holes of the gear that is visible through the moon-shaped hole (ref. 4:14 of the video). Use the bottom-most hole when the caliper is oriented as it is at 4:14. Pull the screwdriver in the counter-clockwise direction - you will feel the spring winding up. When the screwdriver reaches the other end of the moon hole, tilt the traveller back so that both pinion gears are now in contact with the rack. You can now remove the screwdriver from the hole. Slide the brass bar (gib) the rest of the way in, thus holding both pinion gears against the rack. You now have your tension. One other adjustment I had to make: the first time I did this, the sliding action of the traveller did not feel smooth at all - gritty and funky-sounding, as you experienced at 23:34. I eventually found that if I loosened the 3 screws that you are tightening at 22:40, you get some wiggle room. The problem was that whole dial unit was being held too tightly against the rack. I just backed off the dial unit a bit and re-tightened the 3 screws (and of course adjusted the gib setscrews) to get a smooth motion. Another small thing - it seems that you should drag the pointer counter-clockwise, not clockwise, when adjusting the pointer to the top of the dial (ref. 25:50). If you go clockwise, it feels like you are just unwinding the spring, and the pointer snaps back when you let go. Bottom line, now when the jaws of my caliper are opened and closed repeatedly, the pointer always returns to exactly 0 every time. Hope this helps someone else with the same dilemma.
@@daveg7 Great job Dave! Thanks for taking the time to shar and I will pin this information to the top so everyone can use it! Thanks again! Best Regards, Ray
Thank you for putting this out! I have a pair that show inch and metric measurements that were way off on the zero. I could zero either the metric or the imperial but not both and neither would have the pointer pointing straight up. The other videos didn't help as they were for expensive units but yours did. Thank you!
Muchas gracias, me ha servido mucho este video, es una fortuna para mi que este video de tantos años no lo hayan borrado
You Had save me Money, Time and Troubles... Thanks a lot.
Dude, thanks for showing us how to pop the crystal off, I carelessly dropped my Mitutoyo's and the needle came off. They sat for 6 months, and after popping off the crystal, I just pushed the needle back on, and I'm all set!!! The price of servicing would have approached a new set, so I'm pretty happy !!
Right on, Thanks for sharing!
Thanks man. I followed along listening as I tore apart my rbcs calipers, cleaned them up and put it all back together. They even work! Haha
Thanks for showing ,very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for posting, I thought my calipers were toast but I followed along with this video and found some grit in my gears and when i put them back together they worked fine! Thanks for helping me rescue one of my first tools!
Thanks a ton for this video! I have a dual precision analog caliper (metric and imperial) with the grearing messed up after I carelessly took it apart to "clean it". This definitely helped me set them back intact though so thanks a lot!
There is a lot more to these things than I thought. Great video, thank you!
Thank You!
You helped me to fix a broken needle on a pair of caliper. Thanks for this video!
Your welcome Jennifer, I am happy to hear you were able to repair your dial calipers! Cheers, Ray
Thank you very much, Ray, i've used caliper all my life but never had to repair them. A friend ask me to look up is caliper and your demonstration helped me. Michael , Montreal , Canada

Hi Ray
Been fighting the worst flu of my life for the last 3 weeks, finally started feeling a bit better today so I did something other than lay on the couch. I had purchased a set of Mitutoyo Vernier calipers off E-Bay last year, they were used but cheap so I figured why not. When I received them the dial was pointing at 60 instead of 0 so I knew they had skipped a gear or worse. I tossed them in the drawer and they have languished there ever since. I was straightening some stuff out today and pulled them out, thinking today was the day to fix them or junk them. I remembered seeing a video on here about taking them apart but forgot it was yours. Everything was much the same except the Mitutoyo ones don't have a ring to hold the lens in place, it snaps into a groove on the front side of the knurled ring. After a good cleaning and a few dissembles and reassembles they are working like a charm now. I have the digital Mitutoyo calipers but wanted an old fashioned pair that was more forgiving for harsher environments. Thanks for the video!
Hey Cruiser,
I hope your feeling better and back to 100% buddy!
I have found that most everything I purchased off ebay needed something, usually end up sending them in for repair and re calibration, so that's great you were able to repair yours! Shoot some more video of your shop sometime when your feeling better, I would like to see the progress you have made.
Thanks,
Ray
I just dropped mine today and it doesn't want to zero out now, mine has a dual scale and two pointers for thousandths and mm, guess they should pop off the same as a single pointer. Great video 👍🇺🇸
You saved my calipers! Now I don't need to stop by harbor freight on the way to class tomorrow morning.
Very helpful video
Thank you so much ! You kept my calipers out of the trash bin !
It feels to to hear this every time that another set of calipers were saved and is rewarding to know you fix it! Thanks man!
I came back to watch this because yesterday my grizzly calipers messed up had a bunch of grit...I did learn that there was enough play in the screw holes that it let me set the play / clearance between the two gears and the rack ..Took me two tries to get it right
Thanks funny Jim, I had a pair from grizzly that did the same! If this does not work, go on Amazon and get a cheap pair, they work just fine for under $30.00
@@RaysGarage I just ordered a 4 inch caliper from Shars white face dial 22 bucks ..I like old school tools
Very useful to the service technicians.
Thanks.
Ray, thanks a lot. My "shock proof" Midway (Franklin Arsenal) calipers, very similar to the one in your video, took a tumble onto concrete after years of use. The needle moved to about the 4 o'clock position. No other damage, it was still usable and repeatable, but I didn't like canting my head to read it. The needle is back to 12 o'clock, and with cleaning the lens it is very easy to read again, with some glasses over my 50 something year old eyes, of course. I just figured the needle only went on the stem one way like a clock hand, and couldn't be turned. Thanks again!
Young Dave
+Amy Wolken Hi Dave,
I am happy to hear this video helped you, thank you for taking the time to comment and telling me about your Midway calipers. I hear you, once I turned 50 my eyes went blurry and now need cheaters to see anything close up!

Awesome Ray!
My "Shock Proof" Alltrade was not very "shock proof"! It took a 3 foot drop and the needle moved 90 degrees to the right! Your video showed me exactly how to take apart the bezel and realign the needle. Thanks for your tips no my Alltrade is good as new and much easier to read!

Thanks bud... probably saved my calipers.
Thank you for your very professional presentation,you probably saved me and other TONS of money.
Hey Ray,
Thank you! There is one important step I did not include in this video, and that is to adjust your backlash. This will ensure accuracy.
Thanks for stopping by!
Ray
DUDE! Thanks a ton for the take-down. My old Fowler just got loaded with fine CI swarf and was "gritting and grinding" and needed serious help. Your vid was just the ticket. I actually down down into the gears (accidentally) but was able to reassemble it all, and now it is running like a top. Check out Peck pads for lint-free cloth. Also a lighter background on your for your presentation would be nice, but hey - it "GOTERDONE"! Thanks again.
=Alan R.
Thanks so much for this. I acquired someone else's damaged calipers (I'm believing damaged teeth, as with yours) and took it apart to clean it. I had no clue how to get the dial off (now I know), but cleaned it to the best of my ability. When I went to put the shim back, I noticed the hole. "What's this for??" I also noticed the nipple on one of the set screws. Never did put two and two together. Thanks again for this instructional vid.
One thing to do before tightening the dial movement on the caliper is to adjust the gear lash between the rail gears and gear rail. There's play in the screw holes. With mine I had to put pressure on the dial down towards the caliper jaws as I tightened the dial screws. First time I tightened it it made that fine clicking sound because the gears were too much against the gear rail. Just a little tip so it operates smoothly and lasts longer. If there's too much lash it becomes inaccurate. I finally got it set so it's within .001" accurate. I also had like a quarter drop of oil on the tip of a screw driver I touched any shaft/bushings with. I treat mine like a Rolex. Those your suppose to take in once every few years for a cleaning and lube.
Thank you! Just saved me from having to buy another pair!
I am happy to hear you saved your calipers! Thanks for tuning in! Best Regards, Ray
Cool video. I have an NSK (Japan) I acquired in the '80s. Hasn't had a lens for 30 yrs. It's been not so smooth lately so cleaning it today! Thankis
Hi Robert,
Thanks man! I am happy that your calipers are nice and smooth and that this video helped!
Thanks for dropping by!

Hi there, Ray. Good video. One thing I would have done is use a white or gray background to work on. As it is, the one you were working on made it hard to see those little screws and any other small parts. Just a thought. :)
Great! This helped me fixing the hand/arrow misalignment of my cheap chinese dial calipers! Thanks!
Envinite Great to hear the video helped! Thanks for stopping by!
Ray
Really cool video, thank you.
Many Thanks!
Watchmakers use a technique similar to your two-screwdriver method for removing the hands--they have two little flat pry bars they use. One key difference: watchmakers will cover the dial with a thin poly bag and pry the hands through the plastic--this protects the dial. Cool video!

I have an old pair of Mitutoyos that I picked up at a garage sale, they're in bad need of a cleaning, the small bridge at the bottom of the slide is it just a pressed in piece of plastic?

Very interesting and informative. I have several suggestions as I work with models and other very small things.
1. Use a light or white soft cloth under the item to help see and also catch falling parts. An old sheet, pillow case, or even a tee shirt. Just make sure it is large enough.
2. I have a Screw-Sticker to hold the small screws under the head to start them. These tools come in several sizes, I have a couple or three. One is about two feet long. I think it came from Harbor Freight. The small one I got to work on HO model trains.
3. Micro Mark has some tweezers with cupped ends which would be good for holding small things too.
I am probably forgetting something but oh well. Good day to you, sir. Roy

Hey Bro, thanks for watching! To adjust the backlash is easy. Just make sure the little tit of the one set screw is locked in the brass piece with the hole. Then adjust the two set screws equally untill you like the feel, (not too tight, and not too loose). If you still have slop, it's possible one of the two brass gears has a missing tooth, if so find me a replacment too. Please let me know your results! Thanks, Ray C.
I just got a black dial Grizzly caliper from Amazon The set screws were so loose that the shim was sliding out I remember seeing a video on cleaning them But had not remembered yours Thanks for showing how to take them apart I got lucky and sprayed all that factory grit out of mine and got them to re zero by opening and shutting several times and re installed the set screws
+not2fast4u2c Hey Jim,
Looks like you got the caliper figured out and in good working order, nice job man!

Thanks NRA7A1985, I hope Chris got this from your post. This for sure would tension the gears. Thanks again for your tip!
Hi Chris, You got me! I did forget to show this in the video, and realized this after posting it. For sure, you must adjust the backlash spring! Thanks for pointing this out!

That was so helpful THANKS
Great work. If anyone has the Starrett, they are easier than the imports to tare down. If you have a Starrett that is jambing up, or will only go one direction (closes easily, but will not open) there are 2 screws inside that appear to be some kind of preload or slack adjustment. There is a small cutaway in the housing to access these screws once you disassemble the caliper slightly. Easy peasy. :)
thanks for the info, need it to fix my mit caliper.

I just got some 12in calipers and the zero is at the 9 oclock position. This will help me set it right. TY for your help
Hi Ken,
Great to hear, the 12"ers will really come in handy. Check to verify that the little brass gear is not skipping on the rack, this could have caused the clocking to be off, or the needle is loose on the shaft.
Good luck with the repair and thanks for stopping by!

The Mitutoyo dial caliper is really nice and has a great feel, I picked one up about a year ago and use it for special projects only.

I hate to sound negative but did you not forget to tension the backlash eliminating spring when you put the mechanism back? There should be some tension between the two drive gears. Another source of glass is your local watch repairer, they supply them in a great variety of sizes, but costs can be variable.
good job but in finish you have to preload a gear

HEADS UP I have one just like this and today I snapped off the shaft for the indicator after seeing this video at mark 3:45. They are now not just reading off, they are destroyed. :(
Oh man, sorry this happened to you, I have done this many times with good results, why yours broke I don't know, it might have been defective from the start. I have to say is the first one I am hearing of this happening and hope this does not happen to anyone else. My goal here was to help and not to cause breakage regardless of the calipers value! Thanks for posting the heads up for others to see. Best Regards, Ray
@@RaysGarage Do you have a source for parts? Is it even worth it? I think I paid $30 a long time ago but it looks like I can replace them for $20.
I would replace them and save it for parts. I found some pretty nice calipers on Amazon for a great price. I bought two since I drop them from time to time. I use the cheap ones way more than my $200 Mitutoyo's, I only bring them out on special occasions and am very care when using them!
Did the same with my OEM 25362 pair.. junk
Use lighter fluid on track as it has a little lubrication.
Great Tip, Thank you!
It is a CEN-TEC. This was a good DI untill I dropped it, grrr. Thanks for watching! Ray C.
I could fix my vernier. After 1 year. Thanks.
But your vernier it has a sound. Because it's on top the mechanism. My vernier had the same sound.
Good luck.
The thumbwheel fell off on mine. Fowler was nice enough to send me a new one but the one they sent me seems too big. It's like there is a missing peice in there. I don't understand. Like even on yours the thumb wheel has that groove the axle goes in but seems like the axle sits way off of pressing against the rail. Any ideas?
I think the thumbwheel they sent me was too big. The axle is too long and the axle goes right down against the rail instead of the edges of the wheel sandwiching the rail. I would ask fowler to send me another but they were so nice sending me this one for free already. The rail is .126" and the axle of the thumbwheel they sent me is .149" wide.
For School Sounds like you were sent the incorrect thumb wheel, it should fix the axle and just touch the scal for a smooth movement.
subscribed. I have an old Starrett 6" that doesn't hold zero.
Sir, I have a vernier, while removing the fork, the point of the wheel is broken.
Sir,I want more information of how to set repeatability of dial vernier and how to set pinion ,metal gear,plastic gear & setting of hair spring
Sheetal Nandrekar I should have included this in the video and have had several requests to show how to do this however, I gave this caliper away and now use a Mitutoyo Absolute digital caliper.

I don't know what it is with mine but when I try to take the Crystal off it tends to try and pull off the face at the same time and that's where all the measurements are so I'm afraid I'm gonna bend it. How do you deal with that. Fowler
I'm not sure, just take it slow and easy!
I was a machinist back from 1998 to 2003, still had my cheap ENCO 30.00 calipers and they are still .0005 accurate, then, a chip got in there and they would no longer work. Dissembled them as show here but my dial hand was stuck fast. Finally got it to pop free but it vanished into the carpet in my work room/office. I know where it should be but just cant find it. Supper bummed. Probably need to get a magnet and run it around the room before I buy another pair.
Bummer man but the magnet is a great idea unless the pointer is aluminum, try a really bright flashlight if that does not work. I hope you can get it back in good working condition!
Stretch a nylon stocking over a vacuum cleaner nozzle and run it over the carpet.

ray i have a mitutoyo dial vernier the glass is missing on it may be it would even need its ring can you help me to restore this-
Hello Rahul, I do not have replacement parts but if you contact Mitutoyo I'm sure they can help you!
Did you ever find a source for the brass gears?
Hi Joseph, No I have not. I am sure they can be found somewhere, I did not try looking because I have three other dial calipers as back-ups. Let me know if you find any and hope your Starrett repair goes! Thanks for watching! Ray C.
That missing gear tooth makes the vernier unusable - imagine living with that sound (and inaccuracy) , while trying to take a measurement. A couple of days ago, I dropped my Chinese (but very well made I thought) dial vernier. I picked it up, saw the needle was off by maybe 5 degrees . Slid it back to zero - same result, of course. I then proceeded to trash it, which I did pretty well; smashed the pieces, looked for the bits remaining, smashed them too. If only I had seen this vid, perhaps I could have saved it. I don't think I broke a tooth by dropping it , probably I just jarred the pinion gear(s) out of alignment. Anyway, that's gonna be the last Chinese measuring tool I buy - from now on, I'm looking for Japanese or American tools.
+Ant Mallett Hi Ant,
I know the feeling, and am sure you got great pleasure in smashing that caliper, great story! I agree, cheap China calipers just don't belong in the shop but, don't drop that Mitutoyo or Starrett caliper after spending 100+$! I have found for everyday use the Shars or Horrible Freight calipers work pretty good for under 20$, keep the good expensive set for more accurate work.
Thanks for tuning in!

I have a set of Mitutoyo calipers where the bezel no longer locks. The screw is still there, but tightening it does nothing. Wondering how to fix?
Is it possible the knurls on the side of the bezel are worn off?
There is a plastic piece over the screw... I think it may be broken. It does not touch the bezel knurls? Do they lock externally on the knurls or internally like a set screw?
DSCKy The bezel locks externally, you can replace the broken piece with a small washer that reaches the bezel from the center of the set screw for now until you get a replacement.
Thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking...
Sadly Mitutoyo USA has no parts for older tools, and the company refuses to make more. my early 80s 12" 515 series
is junk because of one tiny part that broke. They offered me a trade-in on a new one, at a final price higher than I can buy a new one at the tooling store. Stupid. Cheapest fix will be to buy a used 4" or 6" on enay that still works, and kill it to get doner parts for the 12".
Hello Jennifer, That surprises me that Mitutoyo does not supply replacement parts, one of my favorite caliper is the digital absolute and hope I never need parts for it! Good luck finding a donor caliper, hopefully you can find one cheap on eBay and get yours back in service! Cheers, Ray
how does the dial read the measurement or show the distance on the ruler? Can you explain? :)
A small gear on the back of the dial meshes with a rack mounted to the scale, so as you open and close the jaw the dial gear rides on the rack giving you your measurements.
Thanks for tuning in!

I'm done buying expensive calipers. They are all shit and will not tolerate even the lightest knock while working! ARGGH! I can never get these damn things to return back to zero no matter what I do with them. Upon closing, it might hit zero, next time, it's 10thou under or over. Might be time to switch to digital and skip this geared crap!
Give it into professional`s hands.. You did almost everything wrong way, sorry..

Hey David, Just remove the other three tiny screws on the opposite side to change out the gears. I did not show this since I did not have replacements at that time and figured for a $15 caliper it was not worth repairing. Thanks for tuning in!
