I’d love to hear about your time at PI. I have a great admiration for that company.

Tom, Interesting methodology there! Traditionally, some inks have been similar to shellac - india ink in particular - and the pigments are ground extremely fine. Dykem is a lacquer product, and the pigments and binders in lacquers quite typically run to ~3 mils dry film thickness (0.003" DFT) Your industrial painting coatings generally start at 3 mils DFT, and can get quite thick - we've specified some coating systems at work that ran to ~10 mils (~250 micrometers) after 3 coats were applied. Needless to say, the guys in a paintshop aren't using the same kind of gauge that you demonstrated, but their QC instrument calibration people may very well do something like this... Cheers! Eric

I came here from Project Farm. Someone in the comments posted a link to your sharpie video. Thank you for sharing.

I wasn't expecting the RvB reference, you sir have my like.

Wow, they're an order of magnitude thicker than I would have guessed! I never imagined layout lines on a block could actually affect 10ths readings. Very cool.

This is the best video on measuring the thickness of a sharpie line that I've seen. Well done.

Fancy bit of kit that no one seems to want let me near. Once while I was grinding a thing and was curious how thick a sharpy mark was I ground the surface I was working on, took a few extra really light passes and spring passes. Then backed off a thou, sharpied the surface, and snuck up on it about 0.0001" at a time. Got down to 0.0002" with no change then noted it go from black to grey on the 0.0001" pass. Another pass at half a tenth and it was still barely visible. Huzzah for science, confirming findings via a variety of methods. Thanks for adding dykem to my repository of knowledge.

Very interesting video, thanks for putting in all this effort! Caught your RvB callout there, that's one crossover I never thought I'd see!

Looks like each thickness is a function of the viscosity of the carrier fluid, minus the volatile solvent. The thicker ones leave a thicker residue after drying. The better the coverage of the dye, the less viscous the carrier needs to be, therefore the residue layer will be thinner after drying.

If it’s anything like a dial indicator , There is the stylus part, which touches the object to be measured, and on that stylus, further into the measuring device , there are teeth on it that mesh with a cog/gear. As the stylus moves upwards, the gear rotates into a bunch of reductions and is kept in tension by a small spring resisting the rotation of one of the gears in the system. At the end of the gear train , one will be connected to the little arm that indicates the position against the background There could be many styles, but this is one style I have seen in a cheap dial indicator. Maybe it’s more refined in something as precise as ten millionths of an inch !

+Les Bender Hi Les, Thanks for the nice comment. Cheers, Tom

This reminded me of a time I was using my new mitutoyos to measure Graham crackers. One was .002“ off and my friend annoyed by this display said "better call the company" Tight spc table! That is practically useful data for tomorrow's mechanical nightmare. Content where you break down your interpretation of just a table of dimensions you took is gold.
