I sometimes tram my quill to the vise by placing a 1 2 3 block against the quill and the front of the flat portion of the vise. Once it sits flat on both side it’s pretty much tramed. Like finding the center of a rod with a flat

Como se llama la escuadra que usa

Great video and great information

Excellent video!

Thanks, great tip!

Very much appreciate this video. My reel is fixed!

That's great for the horizontal axis. What about aligning it vertically?

Micrometer in inches.

Thanks a million!! Friday, 3:30pm, just trying to make it happen!!🙏🙏

Excellent Video and well explained...

if you do the thing, and you do it right, and you don't fuck it up... it works it JUST WORKS!

Thank you I’m going in to work tomorrow at 4am to recheck my numbers you saved my job if it wasn’t for you i would lose it because my numbers were fake

For an outside measurement, wouldn't you want to find the highest spot?

I have watched so many videos about how to cut the crown moulding, but this one is the best! Thanks

Thank you Sir! You are a hero!

Well done. Thank you

Urdu translated..

Watching this video after getting a ball micrometer. Super helpful. Thank you.

Thanks for this. I'm going into machining and this is one of the tools I've never had hands on at home to learn, and in just a couple minutes I feel like I've already mastered it. Great explanation!

I've been using these for over 20 years and never knew this

Thank you. It's been a while and this was a great refresher. Very well put together video, my man. :)

thanks

Great idea

to many variables such as the carriage, chuck , tailstock adjustment.

Chance lost for "just the tip, just a little bit" at 1:49😢 Identified my no-name lathe as having a MT2 though, so cheers!

Measuring tools are so cool!

You just taught me a huge chunk of information that I'll carry for the rest of my life, thanks Mr.

The bit you called a combo drill and counter sink is called a center drill because it was created to get a center hole on a lathe. The part of the bit your calling a counter sink is designed for the live center on the tail sock of the lathe to keep the part centered. There are woodworking bits that com with replacement drill bits to pre drill the hole and cut a relief for the head of the screw. That may be what you were referring to.

I would like to say thank you for these lessons/ reviews. I have a juvenile background in maintenance and mechanics. Im starting as a machinist and with your lessons on how to read a micrometer and calipers im already more confident and motivated to learn what this trades has to offer.

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your insights.

Why are you trying to line up with a Chuck? Ever thought about removing the Chuck and installing the correct taper dead center into the spindle? As you said, chucks have run out. If you want accuracy Turn between centers with a faceplate and dogs.

Excellent video! Thank you!

write down the number will be easier

If you’re having trouble reading a micrometer I feel bad for you son I’ve got 99 problems and that ain’t one. Wait till you are an apprentice and get handed a 6000$ mold part and told to weld it up, grind it in with a couple tenths and polish it like it was never broken to begin with and it has to be absolutely perfect. Study hard.

He's explaining it wayyyy different than i originally learned it. Nicee

Thank you!

Thank you for the refresher course. My dad taught me when I was about 10 now haven't touched one in 16 years I forgot, so thank you

ANy suggestions for taking 17 stuck decking wood screws out of a board without tearing up the joists?

Big ass gaps

I would use machinists jacks !

THANK YOU

I never knew you could thread a rod with simple hand tools

What if your tailstock center is not at the same height as the headstock center? As the dial indicator runs along the side of the tube the indication will change.

thank you!!!! i really needed this refresh

Why on earth does this video require annoying music in the background??? Seriously!!!

Thanks for the video =^_^=

Great video helped me a lot

I never knew to store them slightly open, bit it makes sense. I thought it would be like drill chucks where you store them closed to keep dist out, but slightly open makes a lot more sense for calipers. If they are closed and warm up, then the expanding materials dont have any room to expand and can cause damage. Thank you for the video 😊

Thank you for making this super consice and to the point. I especially liked the practical demonstration of measuring the washer at the end. I was trying to use a micrometer to measure something at work and had no idea what i was doing with them lol. I'm a maintenance mechanic, not a machinist but I needed to measure a small shaft (about .25") and the micrometer was all I could find 😅

Why not just turn a piece of stock and measure run out ?
