[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3049932, member: 93138"] For me the biggest advantage of electronic calipers over a dial caliper are the easy Metric conversions. This a function that I use daily. When working with a digital caliper I use that fourth decimal place as an indicator of which direction the round-off error is trending, the number in that place is otherwise meaningless. When it comes to calipers know that the ID jaws are lying to you. The smaller the hole you're trying to measure, the more they're lying. This has nothing to do with technique, it is a limitation of the jaw geometry. If you need to know what size the hole really is, get some pin gauges. Calipers are in the horse-shoes and hand-grenades range. [/QUOTE]
