I'm a CNC milling machine operator, I'm new to having to read micrometers you have made this seem rather simple. Hopefully now I won't be a ball of confusion when trying to measure my parts 🤞🏽 Thankyou!
I used to work for a subsidiary company of McDonald Douglas in the early 70s as Machinist I machine parts for the DC-10 you don't know what pressure is until you have an FAA inspector working alongside you I changed careers became a finish Carpenter now I'm retired thanks for this refresher course it will help me when I start to rebuild my off-road trucks engines
I've been a wiring harness technician for a little of a year. You just made it so much easier for me to read crimp heights on the terminals when setting up my press.
Thank you very much. I loved my father may he rest in peace (who was a machinest) so much that I wanted to work with him all day. In high school I took metal shop and I worked my way thru college for 6 years. I always had a hard time with micrometers. You explained it very nicely. I still have his tool chest from 70 years ago and all of his tools say "made in America".
I was never taught how to read a micrometer and these HF models don't come with any instructions so your video was extremely helpful. Clear and concise with good examples. Thank you for making this!
Old Tool and die maker tip: On the small 0-1”, 1”-2” Mike I am right handed so I take my 0-1” in my right palm and loop my pinky finger around the frame of the mic. Now a have I positive grip with my pinky my thumb and index finger to spin the barrel for an accurate measurement and you never slip and drop your expensive mic.
Well done, I just stumbled on this and decided to do a refresher ( it’s been 50 years since I read one) you had me organized immediately, nice clear concise instructions.
Thank you so much Stuart, I could have used this a week ago while starting a new job. My "trainer" gave me 30 seconds of training and said go for it and left me WAY confused. I know I'm better off now.
This was a remarkably clear and concise explanation. For what ever reason, my nervous self had frequent brain farts using this at my A&P school and the teachers were not often clear on how to use them. A very helpful video to reference for my refresher course before my United Airlines interview the other day. Excellent work.
The metric system is ABSOLUTELY 💯% better than the English system. I can't believe the SAE system is so inferior, it's hard to believe it has held the upper hand for this long......
@@louf7178 It needs less decimal placings because it's a fraction of a mm which is smaller than the same decimal placed fraction of an inch🤦♂️.. I.e you can measure to the thousandth of a mm if you chose but it is much smaller than .001" which is equal to 0.0254mm which you'd round to 0.025mm as 0.0004mm is .000015748" which is a scale you'd never measure down to in inches anyway. Metric system doesn't "seem" more logical, it is... Just like freezing point is 0°c, boiling point is 100°c, logical. Unlike that Fahrenheit garbage, inch, pound, gallon nonsense
Appreciate it brother! Goin back into CNC milling & lathe work tomorrow morning after 25 years of automotive technician repair. I've done this work before about 22 years ago so i really needed a refreshers course on the micrometer readings again. 10:36 minute mark was all i needed. This brings back even the metric memory stuff. Thanks a ton friend. Greatly appreciate these important videos!!
I'm a metric guy from the UK but I recently got and old (1950s) American truck and of course all the critical engine dimensions are in Imperial. So this video was spectacularly useful! As I had no clue how to read an imperial mic. Now I do. So easy to follow and understand. Thank you
Awesome explanation Stuart, I have been watching a lot of this type of videos. Your explanation is the best I have seen. Finally understand my micrometer. Thanks!
A Huge thankyou for posting this video, i have a test coming up on motor mechanics, i found the way i have been taught to use these very confusing, you have made it very clear. credit to you
Thank you for the tutorial,it was easily understandable and your video was also done with care so that viewers can easily see the small readings you were explaining.Thankyou again for your effort and time.
This is opening up a whole new world to me and is making me appreciate my grandfather more being that he was a master machinist and had many calipers like these laying around his shop
I'm glad you got something out of it. My grandfather also worked with machine tools, but unfortunately I didn't find that out until close to the end of his life. I always knew him as this grumpy guy who talked about jazz and the war all the time. It wasn't until I got a job as a machinist that he talked about his time at the power company doing maintenance machining. He had been retired my entire life, so I had never even thought about what he had done for a living. At least he and I got to share a little shop talk there at the end. Thanks for watching!
I love this video! Going to school to be a welder but have a class in the damn machine shop! Sold the 1955 Atlas lathe but kept the measuring tools,just never needed to learn to read mikes until now. EZ PZ My instructor might be slightly impressed! Thank You!!
Great video. Just ordered a micrometer. Been realizing I needed one in my shop. They are definitely handy to have. My first job was at an automotive machine shop. I use to use them all the time. But that was 20 years ago. Kinda forgot how to do it. One watch of your video, it all came back to me. Keep up the excellent work man.
Thank you. I recently got a promotion into bearing inspection. I was really apprehensive but told, it's no big deal... we'll teach you what you need to know. So I took the job but they didn't really teach me how to read the mics properly and I fumble on my own. This video will help.
Excellent video. Pointing at scale with the pencil as you explained made it easier for me to understand. Some of the other videos just turn the thimble and talk. If your new to reading a micrometer it harder to understand. Nice job, now I understand. Thanks

Never understood how people explain something which is hard to see. I subscribed and looking forward to see more from you. Thanks
No relation or any other connection that I’ll watch his stuff and he commented on some of mine. I have no equipment or editing ability as Tony has. Most likely I am twice of his age so I can show lots of old but some unknown by most people. I need time , energy and room to work. Your clear and precise explanation for important detail is appreciated. I have a mech. And a civil eng. but I am neither of them. I grew up in a steel shop of my gpa, learned the trade and became a structural engineer in steel structures only. Tony is toooo precise for me but producing enjoyable shows. Thanks again
Thank you for the course on reading a micrometer. I'm getting into a detailed engine rebuild of a small engine and this is invaluable to make sure I order the correct piston. Thank you!
Very good in years of Millwright work I can honestly say that was the best explanation of the veneer line. You have no idea how many gifts millwrights will not carry out to .1000 this can be an issue. Sweating hubs really comes to mind.
Very good video. Learned how to read them back in high school but when you don’t use them since then well…… Thanks for sharing some experience. Much appreciated!
Thank you! I was trying to learn this from a text book! This video turned mud into water... As in my muddled mind received clarity, yay! I so know how to use one of these now!
Yes this engineering/science and metallurgy. Pursuit has been challenging. It's good to have help I'm a machinest. And a welder. Precision work is a must. Trigonometry and geometry and Algebra are all the tools of the trade in our scientific brains. It's a life.long pursuit.
I truly cannot thank you enough for the simple explanation of how to read these. I was completely not confident on how to read them and now I feel very confident!
Thank you for this! I tried to learn this years ago, for metal shop, but couldn't grasp it then. Of course, the micrometer was different, but it just wasn't taught very well. This made perfect sense to me

Great video! Im from the uk, i was taught the Metric system in school, but my workplace does the majority of there work for the states so the Imperial system has become second nature to me and my prefered method. My vast collection of analog measuring tools are all imperial, with the exception of one which is a 0-25mm Mic still in its plastic wrapper brand new from +10 years ago
This is the best explanation to date that was easy to follow! Thanks. I had a measurements in MM for engine shim buckets, and the way I was reading it wasn't getting me close to the converted IN measurements I was getting with my Micrometer. Very frustrating, after I saw this video I got much closer. The bucket shim (when new) said it was supposed to be 4.80 mm, and after measuring it I got 0.1883 in or 4.78282 mm which is very close and could be accurate because of the wear on the part. All these other videos get into screw thread ratios and twists, good god... No one needs to know all that background stuff in order to read it. Now If I was a trying to reverse engineer the micrometer...then that would be nice to know.

I had a measurements in MM for engine shim buckets, and the way I was reading it wasn't getting me close to the converted IN measurements I was getting with my Micrometer. Very frustrating, after I saw this video I got much closer. The bucket shim (when new) said it was supposed to be 4.80 mm, and after measuring it I got 0.1883 in or 4.78282 mm which is very close and could be accurate because of the wear on the part. All these other videos get into screw thread ratios and twists, good god... No one needs to know all that background stuff in order to read it. Now If I was a trying to reverse engineer the micrometer...then that would be nice to know.
Thanks for the video, it is a great tool and not used very often (ever) by the common person.
Such a detailed explanation! Thank you for mentioning the common mistakes associated.
You're very welcome. I hope it helped. Thanks for watching!
