I have been suspecting my calipers of not reading correctly. I checked the diameter of a metal rod with a Starrett micrometer and it read .395 exactly and that...
Yes a caliper is only accurate to +/- .005 to a micrometer and if you squeeze eitehr one it all goes out the window. Micorometers are not "C" clamps and...

... Heh, that works fine, as long as you're doing a one off or making a bunch of them yourself using that one slightly less than accurate tool. The problems...
Jim, Calipers are inherently harder to get absolute accurate than micrometers on round work, since the thin blades make it more difficult to get it absolutely...

Jim, What model caliper do you have. I ordered one last week. 1239 $44.95. Supposed to be delivered by OOPS, :-) I mean UPS today. Billy WA4LQN ... ...
Billy, I cannot find a model number on mine. I bought it about a year ago from LMS and paid around 50 dollars for it, I think. It is not the model 1239...

Jim. Received mine today and checked it out on a 123 block and it worked just fine. Checked it with a sears micrometer on a 3/8 shaft I turned in school and...
