[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 269026, member: 5"] All of the digital as well as dial type calipers I have can be zeroed, as I assume yours can be. But, what is the dial indicator on, how is it mounted and can it be zeroed? And, the calipers probably have flat faces on both jaws. The dial indicator probably has a rounded type point on the indicator rod at least. Don't know about the opposite side or how it's mounted. This would possibly mean that you are trying to read a rounded case neck's internal dimension with a flat faced jaw that doesn't actually touch the inside of the case neck with the center of the caliper jaw. Is it possible that the difference in flat faces and a rounded face can be giving you the difference in thicknesses but still indicating the same spots for variations. [/QUOTE]
