PaymentPlan Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 The guys at the shop I'm at are saying the analog are better then the digital. Said the digital you can manipulate if you tug on them, and you can get any number. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagunCajun Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Either kind works fine. It's what YOU prefer not what juan claud van damn prefers. It depends what you want to do with them. Projects is a very general term. If dropped, it should be recalibrated. For the average joe, that isnt needed. I picked up a the cheap $20 digital onces at Oriellys and they fine for what most. But for machine work, hell no. I rather digital for when i was in quality control in machine shops/doing machine work. I rather analog for at home simply because i very seldom use calipers at home and do not want to mess with batteries. Mitutoyo, starrett and even the cheaper In-Size or whatever that brand is called will do fine. For QC work, calipers were allowed to be .002" off which is huge(read as a junk work piece) depends on the job, For stuff at home for example shimming my clutch slave on my truck, not a big deal. I compensated for error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaymentPlan Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Right on. These will do for now, it's a start and I didn't pay shit for them. I need to practice my numbering systems and conversions and I'll get it down. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaymentPlan Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I'll be buying another motor this summer and I want to tear it down and build it up myself to have on the shelf. That's why I got the calipers so I can measure and learn shit.

PaymentPlan Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I prefer the analog because I want to know how to read and digest a measurement. Anyone can read a digital if you know 1-10. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeMachining Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ask Claude We (us and the students) use all mitutoyo digitals here. A galiper is not a precision instrument so, vernier, dial or digi, i dont care, if i want to be precise i will use a micro or our cmm.

Precision calipers are certified. .001 tolerance no prob I machine +/-.0001 all day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision calipers are certified. .001 tolerance no prob I machine +/-.0001 all day I already told you about that. The precision depend on the user pressure. A micrometer have a mecanisim for that. You use a caliper all day long, so you are used to it and probably put the same pressure each time (experience). It's not the case with a noob or a casual user.
