Re: How To: Using Dial/Digital Calipers

Il agree digital calipers are the most amazing thing to have in machining. Depending on how accurate things have to be such as performance parts say an alignment dowel for a s/c. We had 2 pairs of mitutoyo calipers in the shop one has been there for over 4 years and the other set is like 2 years old the older set was off from the newer one by .035". But they have been handled pretty badly, no depth gauge dropped several times still worked pretty good but not good enough for accuracy. Nice idea for car modeling though.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.
