The center line adapters for my caliper arrived today. They will live on an 8" vernier caliper. I put them on the jaws and then got to thinking how do you adjust these things so they take a accurate measurement. I have some thoughts on how to do that but thought it might be best to ask you guys what is the proper way to do it.
Took some measurements. Each adapter is .375 OD. When the two adapters are pushed against each other the measurement is .75 which is what I would expect. And I would expect the caliper to read .375. It doesn't. The caliper reads .383. How do I adjust out this error?
