THANKS
THANKS x2
@@DenverLoveless .01 mm = 0.0003937008 in (so if you are rounding up, you would be losing that precision) This is similar to comparing precision of Celsius vs. Fahrenheit markings on the same thermometer. These are just different scale measurements.
I am 60 years. Still learning. No time limits to learn. Learning things our whole life.
had to learn this for gunsmithing im23. thank god micrometers make reading weapon schematics easier.

Let's all have a round of applause for how much simpler and logical the metric system is to use.
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......
Mind you, the metric mic only had 3 significant digits. That's why this _seemed_ "so much more logical".
@@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
“Duh metric is easier because I don’t have to do my maffs in me head”
@@thomasb-k4104 more about just having to remember one value instead of 5.
You “DEFINITELY” and example of a good teacher … breaking everything down in more simpler way!!!! Thank you Sir 👌💯
I am an engineer and have been reading mic's for years. You have made this task much easier for many I would assume, especially in this digital age where most digital callipers are not as accurate as micrometers. First class video.

FINALLY. Someone who actually teaches and explains. Nobody else actually learns you how, not even the manufacturers. They just kinda throw about 1/4 of what you need in your general vicinity. THANK YOU SIR
Good video... Cleared it right up for me.
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'm glad it helped. Feel free to ask me any questions you have. I'm happy to help.

A simple 16 min video taught me more than my professor, ain’t that some shit haha
@@benjaminhollingsworth3094 Eh, let's not to that far.
Word man. I feel the same way.
same here, I was learning through online quizzes for my college and I could not learn crap from the robots talking.

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
Excellently done, finally someone who can explain the readings, tenths , thousands, ten thousands.. Thx very much
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".
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.
I'm glad it helped. Congrats on the new job!
Thank you for subscription and for my studying for my successful in my job
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.
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!
When you have to come to this video because your teacher doesn't teach like this. 👍
Don’t think this is that hard to teach. Not rocket science.
The best explanation I have ever seen on how to read Inch micrometers.
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.
I'm glad it helped. Good luck!
I’m here cause I had a UA interview and forgot how to read a micrometer. Gonna go back and take a retest.
What job at United Airlines requires you to know how to use a micrometer? Just curious
@Roberto Garcia Tech Ops or backstop jobs. If you work on landing gear or engine overhauls you definitely will be using micrometers.
I took this class in advanced manufacturing we had a quiz on how to use one of these this was very helpful!
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much. I thought I’d watch as a refresher, then discovered how much I didn’t know / had forgotten.
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
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching!
I'm in college right now and right now i have learned more from you than i ever did in class. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I first learned how to read a micrometer in a junior high school shop class in 1962. For me, it was easier to remember that all readings are in 1/10,000ths of an inch. To use the instructor's first example:
0.5 in = 0.5000 in [500 ten thousandths] (4 decimal places)
0.009 in = 0.0090 in [90 ten thousandths] (4 decimal places)
0.0005 in = 0.0005 in [5 ten thousandths] (4 decimal places)
TOTAL: 0.5095 in = 0.5095 in [5,095 ten thousandths] (4 decimal places)
Perfect explanation!
You really made reading micrometer simple.
What memories! I worked tool & die 40+ years ago. From corvette dashboards, to plastic hip sockets and stainless steel backbones, to CNC fighter jet hydraulic blocks. Fond memories.
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 glad it helped. Good luck with the new job!
Thank for the video. I had a class about that yesterday and couldn't figure out how to read this and I have a test about it today and after watching your video I am quite confidente.
I'm glad it helped. Good luck on your test!
Thank you. You are/were a great teacher and I am sure you sent a lot of people into the work world with excellent skills.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you got something out of the video!
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.
I found this immeasurably helpful ! Precision quality video, on a scale of its own right down to the finite detail, sir !
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!
Stuart de Haro You’re Welcome. I’m glad you got to talk with yours about this kind of stuff. Mine passed away when I was 8
Wow it’s funny how I assumed I had it right and was instantly corrected, great teacher 🙌💯
thank you i just watched a UTI video explaining it and I was clueless this has helped me alot.
I always wanted to figure out how to read micrometers. You make it so easy to learn.
I can see why you'll struggle to read it with those shades you have on.
I just took a masterclass!
I feel i earned a diploma!
Great video!
I will use this moving forward in a job opportunity. Thanks for the information. Very helpful
Thank you for posting this video. I'm in an intro to Ag mechanics class and have to be able to read this for test purposes. You explained this a little better than my current teacher. Thanks again!
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
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!
I never read a micrometer in my life. But I'm planning on buying a lathe. this video was in the recommended area. and I found it very informative. Thanks for the video.
I'm glad it helped. Good luck with the new lathe!
Circa 1978 I could read a Micrometer in machine shop have not read one since and I was pretty good. Thank you for this vid I am reminiscing.
thank you man! at first I hated the inch micrometers because I couldn't understand it and the professor didn't help that much. NOW it's a piece of cake for me because of you.
THANK YOU!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so very much for imparting this knowledge. Your method is so much simpler. One can only imagine how difficult the FAA General aircraft mechanic knowledge guide can be... Given the FAA wrote the material. A mystery solved.
I'm starting a new job after not handling a Mic in over 40 years. Thanks for the refresher. I have never worked with mm.
Good luck on the new job! Thanks for watching!
Wow you are a legend. Thanks a bunch for posting this straight-forward tutorial.
Doing a micrometer reading test for school, this was the perfect refresher! Thank you!
Good luck!
Perfect. Needed a good measurement and got my dad’s old mics out. Got it figured out first time through. Thanks for posting
This is the best I've ever seen so far about reading micrometer. Thank you 😊
WOW Best vid on the internet covering this. Thank you!
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
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
The best explanation I've seen on micrometers,thank you.
Excellent and clear explanation - saw a metric mic for the first time and was scratching my head...
Got a job interview and test tomorrow, not sure what to expect and this video made a simple and informative refresher ! Thank you!
Good luck! Let me know how it goes.
@@StuartdeHaro I am so happy for your video, because without it I would of been done. I really appreciate it. It went very well, 3 hours of roasting, but I feel confident about it.
@@dealerofburningsalt3649 Awesome. Good to hear.
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.
Slightly more precise than my 25 ft tape measure... Great instruction on reading a mic. Thanks for posting!
Super helpful, i appreciate this so much as I forgot how to read inch micro, and I have my inspection test coming tomorrow
I'm glad it helped. Good luck on the test!
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.
Awesome explanation I can't believe how hard I made this for myself, actually rather simple Lol
Freaking seriously. Once he added the 5 to .509. I was like WHAT? ITS THAT SIMPLE?
I had a hard time in high school reading them but now I can read them
Thank for all the little details
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!
Profesor in my school cant teach like this, even explain well, but this video more on explanation,you will get it! Love it..
Thank you for this video, it has helped me completely understand the use of these micrometers!!!
First video I clicked when I looked up "how to read micrometers". Very great video!! Definitely explained it easily enough to understand it!
Very clear thanks for explaining the metric and imperial.
This is best video i ever seen to learn micrometer thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Getting a job that involves these. Thank you for explaining this, it makes alot of sense.
Excellent explanation. Always wanted to know how to read a micrometer correctly. Thankyou, regards from 🇦🇺
👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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 video helped me understand so much better than my teacher could. Thank you for creating this!
Thank you!!! I had to use one today and I had no clue what am I looking at and how to read it.
First one I found to explain how to read...great job. Thank you.
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 so much for explaining how to read the measurements so clearly. Great video!!
Great job. I really appreciate you taking your time to explain this application.
Thank you, i'm just learning automotive technology and this is had me confused.
thanks for very helpful lesson that I have ever seen.
Dude,...my production professor made it sound like opening a puzzle box! You made it so simple..Thank You!!
Congrats. This is the best I have seen in 3 years. I have them all, likes the digimatic, amazingly accurate and fast to read, especially good enough for comparison. At least you show a real close up. Never understood how people explain something which is hard to see.
I subscribed and looking forward to see more from you. Thanks
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked the video! Out of curiosity, are you any relation to This Old Tony?
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
I've been going through your videos this morning. I like your style.
Your an Excellent Teacher !! Thanks so much ! Easy to understand now
Thank you Sir for sharing this video.
Additional knowledge for micrometer
Memories from the past great video
😅 Great video taking a diesel engines class, having problems with the calculations with micrometers. But you explained it great thanks 😊 for the video.
geez i never thought this is so easy,.. thank you for making me get it finally...
The best how-to video I've seen in 2020!!!!!
Very informative Video, Thank you!! I just bought my first micrometer and need to learn how to properly read it, This was a HUGE help! Thanks again
You are the best because your intention is good. You wanted us to learn and we did. You are a teacher. THANKS
Many thanks for refreshing my memory I have not had to use my micrometer for some time now. cheers buddy.
Wow thank you so much. My new job requires to use these and I had no idea how to use. I'm sure they'll be asking if I'm familiar and now I'm much more comfortable with my answer. I'll watch again tomorrow to keep refreshing myself.
Thank you! My physics teacher gave us this torture device and didn’t explain how to use it.
That's the class I learned to read a micrometer in 🤣 back in 1996 🤣👍
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.
Been using digital only, was never shown how to read these guys. Very informative video, thanks for sharing!
Great video, very helpful as I've never used a metric micrometer before. Thanks for making this!
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, really easy to understand good teaching!
Great explanation. Thank you! definitely hit the nail on the head for common mistakes. Thanks for clarifying.
Wow this is so much easier than I had thought. Thank you for making this material so accessible!
I'm happy to help. Thanks for watching!
Your the best after I watched this I finally can explain how read micrometer to my instructor teacher 👨🏫 🙂🙂❤️❤️
you're
You explained this very well. Thank you.
This was a really helpful video. You broke it down and made it simple, now I feel far more confident in measuring my bearings! Thanks!
Glad to help. Good luck!
Thanks for this informative video! I passed my test today with your help! You rock!
That's awesome. I wish I could say the same for some of my students ;)
Very good and clear explanation. especially the mistakes...that I have done looking at the video just one second before you clarify that 🙂
