Hi Peter. I had a quick look and could only see 6 messages in there.
It took another 15 minutes to work out that I needed to click another box to see that I had replied to 44 messages.
I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Thanks Steve,

PM inbound.

I use these when checking diameters. Nice to use on the machine and when checking in hand. I also find bearing sizes ranging all over the place.

Nice. The barrel reads 001" and the gauge reads 0001".

Nice. The barrel reads 001" and the gauge reads 0001".

Reading your reply makes them sound inaccurate I must admit, but they are meant to be set at any given size by using gage blocks which are in .0001 increments. If I am grinding a diameter I use my standard mic until I get under a .001 then use these to finish, my OD grinder moves in .000025 increments. When checking 1/4" bearings I would set the mic using .2500 gage blocks then read the dial +/- in the .0001 increments. Not trying to sway from your thread, just thought I would share another type of measuring device.

G,day Bob.
No inaccuracy intended.
Without facial expressions and tone of voice, there is a phenomenon where text sometimes looses its intended mark.

The word "Nice" is to show my appreciation for your gauges and functionality of the dual readout.
The description " barrel reads 001" and the gauge reads 0001" refers what I like about your gauges.
Appreciate your contributions to the thread.
Regards Steve
