    I recently bought that anytime dual caliper and I think it’s the best deal for a caliper you can find. It’s smooth, accurate, and the fit and finish is as good (maybe even a tad better) than a pair of Mitutoyo vernier calipers I bought at the same time.

    Thank You! I watch these videos and my head hurt. I didn't know how I'd make use of measurements using the thousandths terminology. I can't tell a salesperson I'm looking for a part that is whatever thousandths of an inch. You are the first one that said you just read it as a decimal. I'm sure most people already knew that but I didn't :)

    Excellent, simple and to the point. I really don't know at what level if any is the rounding part even a point but I seem to remember that form a math point of view, all things being equal in other words 1.055 you go to the "even" number 1.060 not to 1.050 (6 being even and 5 odd). Again this is not from a machinist point of view or a practical POV. but from a mathematician POV. it is done because it make the calculation and math workings that might come later easier because it is easier to divide even numbers than odd numbers. All be it "a human hair" worth of number.

    The precision required is to the 1/1000 of an inch, so three decimal places are significant and rounding would occur at the fourth (1/10,000) decimal point; e.g. 1.0554 would round to 1.055 while 1.0556 would round to 1.056.

    👍 good but I would say when the dial is in between lines always go for a micrometer to get the exact fourth position .0000

    Good video, however you didn’t show what your other knob on bottom of the dial does. Also the there is a 4th way to measure a ledge using the step on the backside of the blade surface. Would like to have seen you show us the unit that has dual needles one of which for the metric system.

    I noticed a lot of videos do not show using the backside of the blade for some reason. Good video however. At first I thought he wasn’t going to go over plain ‘ol thousandths

    A couple of things and I rarely am critical of any KZreadrs except political commentators. 1) You will be laughed out of a machine shop if you start refering to metric & imperial scales as "big & little numbers" 2) When reading a measurement to the right of a decimal; it should be read in thousanths of an inch .092 = ninety two thousanths, or 4.748 = 4 inches seven hundred forty-eight thousandths, or 3.5616 in the case of vernier calipers = 3 inches five thousand six hundred & sixteen ten thousandths or fifty-six hundred and sixteen tenths. 3) The fourth digit to the right of the decimal is ALWAYS referred to as tenths (informally) or ten-thousandths (formally). 4) A metric caliper is always referred to by its length in millimeters. 5) An imperial caliper is always referred to by its length in inches. 6) You should have included vernier and digital calipers of which both are more accurate than dial calipers. 7) I do, very much, like your imperial/metric dial calipers. I have not seen any like that before.

    I don't understand how you only write the tenths that you can see the line to the right of? To me, clearly that line is in the 3 tenths box, so the number would be 1.3... not 1.2...

    Have to say, I don't quite agree with the caliper accuracy claim. My old man used nothing but gauge-less calipers for most of his life and he knows his way around a lathe or two. You can absolutely get the same accuracy if you know to how use it!
