How to read the caliper Vernier scale easily

How to read the caliper using the Vernier scale. I also have a digital caliper, but due to the humidity it never works. So I think it is good to have by hand one of this analog Vernier calipers. The small scale seems to be imposible to decipher, but we'll see how easy is to read that small scale so we can use the caliper with much mor precision. I always use the imperial Vernier scale, but I guess the inches scales works the same way.

A similar Vernier caliper to the one I use in the video:

Very good explanation! Having been a machinist for over 30 years, this is one of the clearest explanations I've come across on reading a vernier scale. This is very similar to how I teach vernier reading. Well done!

I used to know how to read a vernier caliper, but I got used to reading a dial caliper and got lazy. Someone was saying they didn't know how to read a caliper, and for the life of me, I couldn't remember the procedure to show them ! If you don't use it, you loose it !!!
I APPRECIATE YOUR INSTRUCTION and posting this very nice video !

Thanks so much for this video. It was a great explanation of how to use this tool. I inherited a Vernier gauge years ago following my father's death (he worked in metal working) and never understood how to use it, so this has been a valuable start in making this a useful addition to my toolbox.

Excellent, thank you. I have a cheap digital one which had a flat battery this morning. I found my old Draper non-digital and could only vaguely remember how to work out the tenths. Very clear video. Much appreciated.
