Reading Micrometers: Our return to this website...

It's reading the metric micrometers and dials that drives me crazy. The micrometers read in 0.01mm increments and the dials in 0.02mm increments. I have been guilty of converting to inch and working backwards.....
Thanks for the posts. Geoff
 
This is a wonderful discourse on reading scales, etc.

As someone who just bought their first little lathe and is trying to figure out how to read and calibrate it - Thanks!

Glad you like it.... I still need to summarize all the info here and make it sticky but, sadly, there was a weeks-long illness and pursuant death in the family on Christmas day -and I've completely forgotten to finish-up this thread.

I have a task for you, tjs... Please go through this thread and comment on anything that needs editing or is confusing.
