Thread micrometers
I've used the three wire method more than I like. At work I can check out a thread mic
for my lathe efforts. A couple days ago, I thought, with all the ot I'm working, why don't I get an imperial thread mic. Then I saw the prices on those things. Damn. Looks like I'm stuck looking for a deal on fleabay for now. You need the mic and the anvils to be effective across a range. I'm tempted to try the offshore stuff but I've been burned before and don't feel like trying it again. Comments/Advice welcome. Wes |

Not interested in owning any, not even free. Wires are damned near as fast, and certainly more precise. Harold |

The people that calibrate test and certify measuring stuff have told me that there isnt a damns worth of difference in the accurasy of the average Chicom measuring Stuff and German, British and American (and of course Jap) measuring Stuff. The Chicom may be poorer finished, may not be as well heat treated etc etc..but it all tests to the same scale with little difference. This includes thread mics. Shrug Gunner "First Law of Leftist Debate The more you present a leftist with factual evidence that is counter to his preconceived world view and the more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot, homophobe approaches infinity. This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to the subject." Grey Ghost |
