the Truth about Feeler Gauges!!??

[sqrlgtr]

Ran across my feeler gauges today looking for a shellholder and just happened to think of this thread.So got my micrometer and 2 sets of dail calipers and this what I found.All of mine were dead on or maybe .0005 on the thick side,none where under sized.Sounds like the op got a set labeled on Friday at quitting time lol.I was impressed with both my dial calipers seemed like both were very consistent with the micrometer.BTW one caliper was a set of $150 mitutoyo and the other set was a $40 hornady.Go figure ...

so the 3 feelers showed up in the mail today.
measured both English and metric
marked .002 is .0037
marked .003 is .0053
marked .004 is .004
yep some really weird assembly in marking and putting together.
( do you want them back ??)

Not hardly, schiff-can those damn things!!! In retrospect, I could have titled my original post differently. The whole point was that I was really, REALLY surprised when I discovered the disparity. I would never have had thought it possible, and by follow-up posts/results from others it is still not possible.
