you can make a precison micrometer vary quite a bit if used incorrectly. That is why they have a rachet stop which limits the amount of torque that can be applied to the thimbleYou can make calipers read about anything you want........
.00110 - .00099 = .00011 or eleven ten thousanths according to my mathMaybe a decimal error there,
"If a base to ogive is .00110 or .00099"
that's +/- one tenth.
With Calipers?
correct, sorry I am old and easily confused
We've beat the caliper accuracy thing to death.
I'm sure the OP has all the info he needs.
Time to start on things that really matter.

I started out confused then I got old!correct, sorry I am old and easily confused
yep I went upstairs trukin along then I stopped went back downI have hit the stage where I find myself staring blankly into the refrigerator wondering what I am looking for and hoping it isn't my truck keys.
Man do I know how that is!! Went to digital when my eyes started going. Welding can be rough on the old eyeballs!!Jackie's comment is spot on!
Calipers are great for quick measurements within a thousandth or two. Good for short, or small diameters. Bigger diameters, or llonger length need 8 inch or 12 in calipers etc. Most use calipers , because they will get close measurements, in many different lengths, diameters, or depth. Replacing micrometers of different sizes.
Learned how to read Vernier calipers & 6 / 12 incn scales when I was 14 or so. Same way with standard micrometer. Along came dial calipers, never saw digital measuring equipment till aircraft work.. Only reason they had digital equipment was for the younger generations, that could not read standard micrometer or calipers.
Only reason for me today to have digital anything is I don't trust my " OLDER " eyes.
To all a good day!
I have more and more of what I call lab (Labrador) moments. I walk into a room and look around wondering why I came in there!I have hit the stage where I find myself staring blankly into the refrigerator wondering what I am looking for and hoping it isn't my truck keys.

That's called " Experiencing the here after" you look around & say " what did I come here for"I have more and more of what I call lab (Labrador) moments. I walk into a room and look around wondering why I came in there!
Have a great evening!

Have reached the point I occasionally head to my shop to get something and forget what halfway there, usually remember halfway back to the house...yep I went upstairs trukin along then I stopped went back down
is standard the same as gage block?Don't have a lab at home but I do know how to adjust calipers and mics at home using standards. No two people using my mics and calipers. Just me.
