![YOU NEED THIS! How To Use Digital Calipers [Dial and Vernier Too]](/img/n.gif)
Excellent video! Thank you! 😊
I like digital because I can instantly do inch to metric on the fly. I do keep an extra battery.. I do love analog measurement devices when I am doing CNC work. I use calipers for finding fastener sizes. The measurement is matched against a size chart to give you the metric / standard fastener - vs finding the Tap and Die set to try and find the size.
yeah I think in general people prefer digital and I am in the minority but I have grown to love the dial more : ) obviously it's personal preference - there is not any major advantage either way. Yeah I have seen those charts but I can't say I have used them much -I would love to get into our 5 axis CNC that we have on campus but can't find the time. Just to many things to learn : )
I bought 12 inch vernier Calipers because I dropped and broke my Dial Calipers at work, and the Vernier is more robust....got tired of the time it took to read, compared to a Dial. Broke down and bought another 12 inch Mitutoyo.
As a professional machinist and professor of manufacturing for more than 45 years any industry using vernier calipers is out of touch with today's technology, vernier calipers are known as the guessing stick in industry. Digital's are used in Industry 4.0 because it allows for collection of data without pen & paper and limits error, machinist on the shop floor use both dial & digital (not collecting inspection data), but in a metrology lab Digital is always used now days if not you are not ready for Industry 4.0 and yes I know CMM's are better but not all parts need inspection by a CMM.
great thoughts, do you have a recommendations for an industry 4.0 digital caliper that can also be networked?
@@HTMWorkshop Mitutoyo has several models I use and I also use their MeasurLink software for the data collect but the software works with almost all calipers with a digital serial port.
My recommendation for calipers (I try to get at least 8 inch calipers when possible)
Mitutoyo Dial Calipers - amzn.to/3Dcn8pl
If you want both metric and U.S customary Reading Scale - amzn.to/37oxqVp
The Best Solar Caliper but expensive - amzn.to/37qBrIW
Digital calipers - amzn.to/375Zg93
WARNING CLICKBAIT GARBAGE 4:23 to get an actual answer to the title but you don't get an answer because he says: "I like dial cus personal preference hur durrr"
You don't want to get the cheapo calipers cause they will be off!
I prefer vernier calipers because of the price, accuracy, and durability
Im a professional machinist and wouldn’t ever use my vernier in a shop because it takes way longer to read them and at work speed matters.
@@Celestialrain23 tbh I don't see much of a speed difference between vernier and dial. Unless it's digital, you still have to manually read the scale/dial
@@brandonjohnson1339 for me it’s a difference of about 5 seconds which would really irritate other machinists. Also in my shop we have a double verify system so I couldn’t use a vernier since most can’t read it
@@Celestialrain23 Every machinist should be able to read a vernier caliper
@@brandonjohnson1339 your opinion doesn’t change the reality that most consider it an antiquated technology and that’s why tech schools/apprenticeships no longer teach how to read them. Anyone still using vernier calipers is an outlier in the field.
Nobody taught me to use a vernier scale but I just bought one and it was obvious to me how to read it. Even though it’s cool I still wouldn’t use it at my job professionally.
To me, anybody that says "one thou" is "that guy". Don't be that guy.
Everyone in a machine shop says thou. Life must be delightful if that is what bothers you.
@@Blobby_HillSo you're speaking for "everyone"??? How lucky for them.
@@P46345 everyone says thou
@@lilkane6865 Looks like "everybody" is a hack then.
@P46345 I guess those guys with 40 years experience then
good video! keep up the great work!!!
Thanks!
