Thanks 3:11 - 3:26 is what I needed to know.
The problem with using these of a mill or lathe sometimes is that there’s no room at the end of the bore to get these in. So you have to disturb the set-up to take the measurements. So if you’re boring a hole, these may not be usable. For that, an internal mike would be a better choice. But if you have the room, these work very well.
The gauge is for measuring +/- If you let it swing past 6:00 you keep adding ie: if it spins past 6:00 and reaches 15 again then you are +40
Good vid, thanks for the instructions, tips and ideas.
Got the same one, thanks for the video. My question is, when i spun the handle out, the inner rod and spring came out. I've got it put back in where I think it should be but is the a breakdown anywhere of that spring/rod inside the handle? Thanks in advance.
Why is it missing two pieces?
👍
Why do they all come with missing pieces there's indentions in the casings but there is no tool
Because they're in the tool...
@@TheGamersRace I'm talking about the long one at the end that one's definitely not inside the tool
@@jamesbarnes7045 the sheet explains if the set is in inches there will be no tool there. read man, read.
Hate dial gauges....why? Pain to read, but doable. Not really an issue, however? I often deal with having to switch from Imperial/SAE to Metric. Often multiple times in the same application. 2 Engines I have lately worked on: 4G54 Astron (Mitsubishi) and Ford 4.0l SOHC Cologne...both use constant swapping of tolerances. Yeah, I could do both in one tool with conversion. But I hate having to have a calculator with me. Just more BS to deal with.
There's also the much rarer dual needle dial which read both metric and fractional at the same time
is fowler made in USA?
The one I got amazon for $99 is made in china
