[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1841062, member: 93138"] There is a technique for repeatable measurements using a caliper of any type, but I'll say it again, you're fooling yourself if you think that a caliper can reliably and accurately measure smaller than .001" Just because the display shows some number or partial space smaller than .001" does not mean that it can reliably and accurately measure that small of an increment. All that smaller display tells you is the "round-off" error, i.e. is it closer to .001" or .002"? [/QUOTE]
