[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 478669, member: 25383"] You didn't reset the dial calipers, you just moved the error. You have to split the case body and move the gear a tooth or two on the rack to put it the correct location. It dosn't matter if they are a six inch pair or a 24 inch pair it works the same. That's why I don't like Starrett dial calipers. You do not set a micrometer with an allen wrench. You do it with the small spanner wrench and a special pair of pliers (these move the whole body back to their correct location after adjusting). The anvils are pressed in, but can also be replaced. I have a small super mic head laying around that reads in .000050", but do not know how to adjust it as it much different in design. A good test with a caliper is to measure several Jo Blocks with the same methods you measure anything else. Just make sure they are at room temperature gary [/QUOTE]
