Doug - The MT-120 can inspect diameters quickly and accurately . Then transmit the data to the next office or anywhere on the planet . That's my story and I'm sticking to it . -- Jim
Very cool, if you are ever bored, make us a story time video of what inspired the project and perhaps the development process. Looks like a bit of work to get all the elements together. Thanks for showing that.
Benno -- A bit of work - I'll say . That Video represents a Gazillion Hours . One day I just walked away from it. Why - I don't know ? Can you recomend a good shrink ? - Jim
Hi Jim. I expect there is a formula that converts diameter measurements that allows measuring parallel faces. As it is now it can probably compare results from measuring parallel faces. One pin at 12 o'clock and the other two equispaced underneath. [ Edit ] I've posted a video in the comments below to explain, you will need to show newest comments first to see the reply.
@@TangentJim It would be able to " clamp " a parallel piece between the 3 pins and give a +/- reading compared to a master parallel gauge. Perhaps the readings from a top limit parallel gauge and from a bottom limit parallel gauge could be noted and then a run of parts could be analysed to see if they fall within the two readings.

Gday Jim, that’s a great system and quick, cheers
Matty - Thanks for watching . --- Jim
Awesome tool to speed up checking parts, Jim. 👍

@@TangentJimTuesday evening story time with Tangent Jim, can’t wait…….could 2 mins or 22 mins long, would be great either way.

The MT-120 dosen't measure parallel faces . It can only measure diameters . Thanks for watching . -- Jim

Your thinking is Light Years ahead of me . I can't get there . -- Jim
You made a giant 3 point micrometer? With an abnoxiously large footprint?
I guess it may have its place in a very specific QA application
Thanks for watching . -- Jim
Wow !! any chance we will see how it works ?? best regards Steve
Steven -- ???????????????????? --- Jim
@@TangentJimhe wants a peek under the petticoats
Does it have a bi directional torque ratchet on the measuring knob?
Marley -- It is bi directional as you can see . The knob could use
a friction clutch - Like on a Micrometer . I never got there. - Jim
@@TangentJim Thanks Jim, that is exactly what I meant, like a micrometer but in both directions for consistent o/d and i/d measuring.
