[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1509952, member: 64108"] Now you are seeing the light !! Our data is only as good as the tools and how we use them. Make sure you measure with the same force every time as you can take 5 measurements and get 5 different readings. Close the caliper on the comparator getting zero before you tighten the brass screw. I have also found that pushing the caliper head against a surface tends to yield more consistent results than tightening it with the thumb wheel. I also upgraded to a Mitutoyo caliper but only use it when I get really serious(LOL) as opposed to a $20 Hong Kong Freight model(although some reviews rate it pretty good). My cheap Hornady caliper would stray from zero up to 0.002 when closing repeartedly and eat batteries so I canned it. Note in the photo how I'm pressing the caliper against the cabinet instead of using the thumb wheel. Give it a try.[ATTACH=full]110544[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
