I wish the internet was around 65 years ago. Everyone should be shown this video. I am still learning now!

I always wondered why the depth gauge on calipers had a step. Now I know, thanks. Although I only have a lathe, I've subscribed to your channel. Most educational.

Really appreciate you guys sharing this information have a blessed day

THANK YOU!!!! I've always been confused on how to read the micrometers that my dad has. this has cleared up so much.

Awesome video. This video would have been great when I went through machinist school. So, e people had a hard time grasping these basic concepts. You explained them very well. Thanks!

G'day Mark, I'm a manual machinist but your videos are just awesome mate. So much applies to both worlds (CNC and mine) and I can't believe there is so much I didn't quite know, or, embarrassingly was just doing wrong - even after a lifetime of machining. You are an entertaining presenter (dad jokes included) and even watch you G-Code videos, very interesting! I could learn that! Being recently retired after an accident, I'll never use a machine like a HAAS CNC 🤤 but my thought are turning to a home CNC conversion.
Anyways, wanted to say thanks so THANKS! Merry Christmas to you and yours mate. Cheers, Michael 🇦🇺 🎅🏼
(PS: I knew everything in this video 😉)

The old timer that taught me to read a mic said anything past 4 decimals is a c hair. Only took me ten years for it to click. Awesome video, great middle and high school shop material

[ronevans]

your videos are very well put together! great content and video. Thank you!

[weezin]

Thank you for the tips! Im a machinist student, the tips help out so much!

[clifffoltz]

Thanks for the excellent lesson for us rusty people!

[jenacbxx]

wow, always very usefull!!thank you so much!!! I'd like to add just a detail. to push the callipers performance isn't a bad idea to zero them with a gauge block with a value very close to the entity you need to measure. to bring the zero close to the value of the misure is always a good idea and can avoid lot of methrological complications

[FaizanAli-opxe]

Great video. Please make more videos of these kind.

[DayDrinkin]

Been going through all these basics and im really happy that most of the basic tip videos arent new knowledge, although i dodnt know the hole center trick with the caliper.

[vedantambekar]

Informative and quite funny as well. Loved watching this !!

[ramdasjagtap]

Thank you for the most valuable information on measuring instruments.I really like all videos.

[tonedizzle]

Really excellent video. Likely planned, but doing something similar with dial indicators would be awesome.
