Depth Micrometer - used for what?
 

I know - measuring depth. But, my ex is handling an estate sale, and found a
Starrett model 400 depth micrometer in perfect condition. We're wondering
who uses a tool like this so perhaps we can target the sales process more
accurately.

Machinists
Mechanics: valve lift, etc.

A machinist would use it. Anyone who works with metal accurately. Lathes,
milling, maybe even CNC.

Don't get too excited.

Holy smokes....lots of dead machinists.

Either that or they all moved to China to get work.

And now they are there making depth micrometers.

.....and using them to build Chrysler mini-van motors, with machining
tolerances measured in feet. :-)

Machinists aren't dead. We just had to find other
things to do as so much work has gone offshore.

You'll notice this does pretty much the same job (look at the little stick
on the end).

Most of my tools these days have dials or else they are electronic...with
LCD readout.

Other thing here is that in many larger shops the trend has gone towards
having the company supply most gaging tools and standards--easier and less
costly to maintain calibration and traceability this way.

I've got my own depth gauge, and it's not micro...

They're all too tight and not deep enough...

Wrong hole.

Well....get over here! I need a 2"x3"x12" block of aluminum for a
modification I'm making on each side of my boat trailer. I've called 3 metal
shops so far and all I get is "Whuh?" I say "Imagine a wood 2x4, 12"
long....well this is similar, but it's really 2"x3"x12", and I get "Whuh?"

Sigh......
