[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 684580, member: 25383"] a lot of people don't know that a dial (or digital) caliper actually has two built in ways of measuring depths. You can do it off the head end or you can use the tail part that sticks out the back end. I personally prefer a good depth mic to using a caliper for measuring depths, but if it works out for you then so be it. The real issue with calipers is when your measuring I.D.'s The anvils have flats ground on them, and will not fill in the complete arc they are touching. I have one pair that have had the anvils reground to about half of what they were shipped with, good enough for most large bores, but still not upto the job for small bores. For finite measurments I prefer a set of small hole gauges gary [/QUOTE]
