A Novel Approach to Reading the Micrometer

Most excellent, Tom. The best way to to teach reading a micrometer to newcomers I have encountered.

Thanks James I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I used to use that technique to teach ninth grade students and they were very receptive to it. Money is a lot easier to relate to than numbers on a tool.

Thanks Tom,
I will use this method of teaching this subject to a friend of mine who is finding the concept of micrometers worrying He is a good guy, but never had to read mic's before
Again thanks for a simple but brilliant explanation.
 
I've been asked to do a metric version of the same technique, but haven't got around to it yet. It works the same though, just with different coins. Or are you using the inch system in machining? Whenever I watch one of Doubleboost's machining videos on Youtube, he seems to be using inch micrometers.

Great video, makes a lot of cents :lmao:...I'll be using it to teach my grandson ASAP
