Title: Making Measurements
Post by: George Schmermund on December 27, 2016, 01:35:01 PM

Since this area of the forum is dedicated to machining and R&D I thought that it might not be out of line to pass on a link about making measurements. I know that most of this will be old hat to many of you, but it might be new and useful to some here and an occasional review can't hurt the rest if they want to take a look.

Nice find George!

Part of my work at Viking Air was using gauges to check set-ups after the first part was run.  Learning that there are three levels of gauges made a difference when checking specific parts.  We have an environmentally controlled room at 68 and you used cotton, lint free, gloves to touch the gauges to measure the first run part.  Amazing how much a gauge would change by just holding it in your hand for five minutes!
