Depth Micrometer - used for what?
|
|
| Doug Kanter 2005-06-29, 6:26 pm |
| I know - measuring depth. But, my ex is handling an estate sale, and found a
Starrett model 400 depth micrometer in perfect condition. We're wondering
who uses a tool like this so perhaps we can target the sales process more
accurately.

A machinist would use it. Anyone who works with metal accurately. Lathes,
milling, maybe even CNC.

Mechanics: valve lift, etc.

Either that or they all moved to China to get work.

Machinists aren't dead. We just had to find other
things to do as so much work has gone offshore.

Most of my tools these days have dials or else they are electronic...with
LCD readout.
Other thing here is that in many larger shops the trend has gone towards
having the company supply most gaging tools and standards--easier and less
costly to maintain calibration and traceability this way.

They're all too tight and not deep enough...

Well....get over here! I need a 2"x3"x12" block of aluminum for a
modification I'm making on each side of my boat trailer. I've called 3 metal
shops so far and all I get is "Whuh?" I say "Imagine a wood 2x4, 12"
long....well this is similar, but it's really 2"x3"x12", and I get "Whuh?"
Sigh......
