I'm making some parts to metric specs right now. I reached over and grabbed my metric Mitutoyo dial caliper and the measurements just didn't make sense. I was trying to creep up on a dimension and things just didn't add up.
I had grabbed my Imperial caliper. Ok, you might say. You should see the problem right away. Um, NO!. It has both a metric and an Imperial scale on the bar. Tunnel vision had me looking at the metric scale and trying to make sense of the dial.
I didn't realize what was going on until I went to put them away and go double check my spec. "That's the wrong case. These don't go in that one."
