Nice one, this absolutely makes sense 👌

Oh and make the case colors either orange or white 🤔
Well... Or whatever you want, but I'd make them orange or white 😁😉

Being a tool and die maker, I really enjoy your videos covering precise measurements, lathe, and mill work. Not so much because of what I am learning but more so because of what I see you learning and because you are bringing so much interest into machining. It's great thank you.

Justin

being machinist myself I find this to be absolutely true! makes it more fun when you can cringe at the method he is using to do something lol

I truly love when Adam gets a new toy. Because these videos really have the same energy as a kid excitedly telling us about his Christmas haul.

The pursuit of precision and accuracy is such a fascinating part of history. How good is perfection? Machinist granite test surfaces, sine squares and angles, measurement and testing devices, all the mathematical gymnastics through formulas to achieve measurement perfection. It's wonderful. Awesome price to the puzzle Adam and team!

precision is honestly one of the biggest walls to progress, CPUs and GPUs are bound by differences in nanometers.

Then those silly electrons wont sit still long enough so basically every measurement becomes a guess + or - a few Uncertainty principles.

We use something like this at work, to measure the thickness of our rubber printing plates, at the box factory, as we have slightly different thicknesses for our different printing machines. I thinks it's the same brand too!

I worked in London calibrating instruments, we had a controlled room that held all the standard's we used. I also travels the south east of England calibrating temperature and humidity for our customers.. Very interesting job.

Dustin from Smarter Everyday has a dad who has been in the field of measurement for years. I bet Adam and Dustin could have a great conversation.

@Supreme Ruler of the World Dude, the man has his bachelors in mechanical engineering, masters in aerospace engineering, worked for years as a missile flight test engineer, and is working on his PhD in mechanical engineering.

That has to be the worst shielding from science I’ve ever seen.

DESTIN is only excited about science because he's been shielded by religion all his life.
Yes, it would be amusing to watch him nerd out with Adam but it would be Adam agreeing with Destin that yes, if an earthworm consumes iron-rich soil a magnet will work through it's skin.
Like, duh.

When I took a physics course in university I remember using the cheap student models which had a ratchet that did not work very well. A particular memory from that class was another student really cranking down one when trying to get a measurement from a ball bearing and the facial expression of the professor upon first observing this action happening.

aProudlLiberal

The racketing mechanism was added to dumb it down for less experienced inspectors. It is extremely easy to get bad results even with a racket. Newer designs use a friction thimble. They are subject to the same bad results depending on the operator. Both methods will help less experienced get more repeatable & more accurate results but a skilled user doesn't require either. I'm a retired metrologist / Quality Engineer / Quality Manager with 40 years experience and always removed the racket or friction thimbles from micrometers to teach my employees better technique.

Simon Ilett

3y↑1

Nice piece Adam, was an unknown tool to me too, but it makes perfect sense...Another consideration for having the ratchet mechanism, aside from possible compression of the material, is the possibility of the anvils stretching/flexing apart if too much tension is applied when measuring relatively hard objects. As for the universal colour of all your cast objects, I'm thinking🤔...it has to be Green👍🇦🇺

Bob Toerge

Dear sir, I used a smaller version of this mic, was amazed how simple it was to use and with consistency. Love your work and look forward to the next. Thank you

demonduck132

This was adorable. I really love how excited you get about everything. I hope I am able to approach my hobbies with as much wonder for the rest of my life.

Robert Templeton

Damn! In my quality lab we use a Thickness Gauge for measuring thicknesses of, say, rubber o-rings and gaskets but it is about the size of a standard micrometer and weighs a few ounces. Same idea though - a calibrated small amount of pressure (force) in order to mitigate the compressibility factors of the material involved.

twinturbostang

Very cool. I've been doing dimensional metrology for about 30 years, measuring the size of features on silicon wafers and engineering parts down to nanometers in size.

I've been stepping up my measuring gear lately. Bought a decent caliper, a good double square (PEC blem), a good tape measure (Hultafors). I love measuring tools, because you don't have to spend 300€ to get something really nice. Yeah the hultafors tape measure is way more expensive than a shitty plastic one, but it's still only 20€. Even if you don't have much money it's still accessible if you really want one.
Next is a mitutoyo digital indicator to align my table saw blade/fence/slots :)

John Alexander

3y↑1

Yip, and sometimes it makes more sense to buy the standard than to buy a better tool. A few F1 mass pieces are gonna tell you exactly how trustworthy your fong kong scale is. A few gauge blocks can audit all your calipers and micrometers.

Tavo McDouglas

3y↑2

Amazing piece! I can't wait to see you refinish it!

Chris Kucia

HI Adam. New subscriber. Been watching a lot of your videos lately. I noticed that a lot of your machine tools appear to have billiard balls on the ends of the handles. Is this something you do yourself? If you haven't talked about the process, I would surely find it interesting.

Bamahut

I also never new this existed. That's a great tool and it doesn't look complicated. I do agree that it would look better with a new coat of paint as well!

Very cool instrument, looking forward to your restoration and your box making. What color are you going to paint all the machines?

David Lawson

I’m in manufacturing and it’s interesting that we don’t use one of those ratcheting micrometers. We’re measuring animal tissues that are very pliable and inconsistent. I may have to bring this up. Thanks

I've been a machinists for 12 years and have never seen a moc like that its beautiful

At work I get to use a tool that operates on similar principles, the Gustin-Bacon Measure-Matic. Its anvil is a square foot and it's used for measuring big samples of fluffy materials like filtration media, insulation, or poly fill.

wolph

3y↑1

Analog hardness testers work in a very similar fashion. That might also be useful for you Adam

86fifty

7:45 - ohhhhHHH! I got so HYPED by the idea of Adam making a box for this thing!! It IS a precious bit of kit indeed! This channel has really inspired me, man! I immediately started thinking about the fact that, usually, boxes open at the top, right? But that would be sub-optimal for this object, since the handle is on one SIDE... So the box should open from the side, yeah?? And SO IT SHOULD BE A LIL DOOR! Being inspired like this is a totally new experience for me, and I thank Adam Savage and Tested for putting out this video that gave it to me! :D

Shea Transue

I work at a plant that produces medical textiles. Test methods (a precise set of tolerances and instructions) are actually sold by standards companies that specify how to take these measurements for pretty much any material under the sun.

The one other thing Adam didn’t mention is that the anvil size actually matters because a test method usually calls for a certain PSI.

We have several of these micrometers except they are digital and you can add and subtract weight.

Michael-Michael Motorcycle

Used a cady gauge fairly regularly over the past 13 years. We use it to measure consistency between blankets used to print beverage cans. A minor difference between the 12 blankets on the machine can make big difference between 1-36 random cans blown off during a quality check. It could be a minor differentiation or a major differentiation in the artwork from can to can. Extremely tight tolerances were needed between the print plate, the blanket and the mandrel that the can rode on around the mandrel circle for consistency.

If I remember correctly we were running between .0010 - .0015. When prepping for a label change we would measure a stack of blankets with the cady gauge and then separate them by thickness so the 12 blankets being mounted for the next label were all close if not the same thickness.

the ratchet also allows shop tools that gets shared to have everyone measure equally

Matt Rowley

Big fact right here.... give people an option and they will mess it up

@Andrew Abraham you mean it's not just a graduated C clamp?!

Morten Bentsen

Also prevents damage to the actual micrometer from over application of force.

Ed RDnc

I recently saw a documentary that focused on how the advancement of metrology was a primary factor in establishing the concept of manufacturing "interchangeable parts". Repeatability within the testing instrument and across other instruments (including standardized calibrations), HAD to evolve first.

Joshua Martin

I'd love to see a One Day about cleaning and restoring things like this!

Michael Rice

I have a similar tool for measuring the thickness of guitar or violin tops. It's a wider frame, of course, but it's the same principle. I REALLY like that one, however.

Matthew Elliott

definitely want a restoration video, that thing is beautiful

Charun1982

Joe Pohlen

I often say with fuzzy measurements like these that it's more important to be consistent than correct

Guy shaashua

3y↑1

this methedology of measurment is similar to the one used in mythbusters for the common timing of two differently delayed instences, such as bullet dropped vs fired. how to schedule both to hit the same time? put both under more delay than needed- with ajustments- and let the machines play.

sciloj

The amount of torque is equally important for measuring hard materials. By overtightening it, you can get about 0.001" lesser reading on a typical 0..1" micrometer. When the target resolution is about 0.0001", using a ratchet or a friction sleeve (another type of torque-limiting device) is a must.

Sax Daddy J

3y↑2

I work in a calibration lab and even with our stainless steel 17025 certified gage blocks, error from compression on digital and dial micrometers still creeps in. It's a considerable factor when we're calibrating dimensional items for certifications. There are procedures and techniques that we use to eliminate those types or errors but it's still a non-trivial process.

Edit: Spelling

Sax Daddy J

@Jan Kaas yeah there's a lot of variables that come into play. Any sort of debris on the jaws, any misalignment in the assembly. And, as you pointed out, the flexing of the body and jaws from too much force being applied is a huge part of it too.

Jan Kaas

My humble opinion would be that the dial micrometer is flexing.
And not that the gauge blok is compressing.
It is like trying to compress an anvil with a horseshoo.

Arcade Sunday

A fascinating measurment tool!

I would be very careful about opening this. Some of these tools (specifically calibrated, micro geared) cannot be put back together without knowledge and special tools. It may happen that this gets opened, and that's about it.

gavin caligiuri

I’m studying to become a rubber engineering tech and the compression of rubber is a real problem with measurements, a Magna Mike is another tool you can use to measure thickness. It uses a tiny ball bearing to measure the displacement between the magnet and the ball bearing to give a reading

ROBERTHALL

I think that it would be really AWSOME if you were to make the box for it look like a large coffee cup and use it casting stand/handle as the coffee cups handle

Xoron

The leather being thicker towards the edges could also be that the overhang of the leather excerts a torque on the pivot that slightly pushes on the piston.

Jim Naden

Now everybody will be searching for one of those... Me included.
Thank You Adam.

Interesting, never saw one in all my years of metrology.

Juggernaught W

As a metrologist I love these videos

Matthew Hilberts

Their is a similar tool used in the manufacture and repair of some string instruments to get a consistent thickness across the resonating surfaces.

TooLazy4Names

I feel like Adam is the kind of person who would become fascinated by a camera lenses from the 1950s and 60s.

Time for a geometric dimensioning and tolerance video! I got my SAE pocket guide on my desk right now.

TheJagjr4450

I have 3 of those - we used to own a Paper and paperboard processing facility and they are the STANDARD for taking measurements of PAPER caliper or thickness. (Z - direction) +/- .001 is the accepted tolerance or variability for paper being printed in rotogravure or offset -

Jim McDonnell

Oh - was not expecting it to be that large! Good surprise reveal!

TheTarrMan

Wow! Benny like!
I have a hand-healed version of those made for measuring paper.

oh yeah defiantly do a restore and case build thats a couple ODBs i'd watch. my mom had one of those and i was the one she would let measure incoming leather shipments for consistency they were so cool

m hathaway

great find. newton mics also works. also need std temp to measure

D R

Great lesson on repeatability Adam!

Mathew Gonzalez

I can imagine Adam in 5 years with an absurd number of new items that he didn’t know existed as he delves deeper and deeper into Craigslist and the like

blah blah

"this is my shop, I call it the cave. And THIS is my 'room' of my favorite things!" Gestures to an m5-sized warehouse of homemade boxes

stanfordcoffee

Sometimes I wonder if Adam buys things on eBay just so he can make a box for it.

Being a Metrologist , I appreciate this video.

Today's episode is brought to you by the word metrology!

J S

Think measuring thickness is tough, try measuring surface area...and then get that electron microscope out and think again.
Gage R&R is an incredibly important part of the producing of things at volume, understanding the variances from the part, the tool, the person, and the process used. Getting hands off is a great way to reduce a lot of variation.

Jesus von Nazaret

Adam, look out for old Mitutoyo 515 series or Hommel Cadillac height gages, you will love the feel of the instrument. Especially the Cadillac models are traded for rather small prices.

Pierobon

So, just watched half the other micrometer videos you have... And now I just realised, shouldn't the imperial devices be called thousinchometers or something like that?
I mean, they don't measure micrometers, they measure thousands of inches! 😅

Linda Thompson

Hi Adam, please do the restoration video it will be interesting

What did you do at work today, Adam?
I spent the day measuring stuff.
Oh what are you building?
Nothing. I just measured ALL the things.

@Maighstir It's a new toy, he's going to play with it.

Maighstir

I mean, he's the boss. He can do what he wants. If he decides that today is measuring day, today is measuring day.

James Barisitz

That dial will be an asset as your vision deteriorates with age. Awesome device. ✌

Matt Rowley

Adam.... youre the shit! Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Priscila M.

Wait wait. Did you measure the dial with your tattoo or am I imagining things? Loved it!!!

Mark Silverman

An actual electron scanning tunneling microscope would be hilariously inappropriate for measuring the thickness of anything... hey, these carbon atoms are all bumpy! Let's sand them smooth.

Christopher

Awesome & Beautiful. No more needs to be said.

muff10000

An micrometer doesn't actually measure µm 0.001 mm. only 0.01 mm and at best 0.005 mm with some analog.

If you measure µm you most likely gonna get wrong measurement since materials expand and shrinks couple of µm depending on what the temperature is. just the heat from your fingers gonna change the value.

Measurement tools usually have the standard of measure 1 decimal smaller than attended to get good enough measurement. that's why some digital micrometer resume 0.001 mm 1 µm, and digital Calipers measure 0.01 mm.

AS SAID IN MIKE MEYERS' SNL sketch, with ADAM's best impression indeed: "If it ain't ORANGE it's crap!" (ORANGE is substituted for SCOTTISH in the sketch.. Pertaining to the colors to refinish your tools...)

i was always a science nerd and as a ginger my friends would always say "you remind me of that informative guy from that science show... QUIET DOWN ADAM..."

they call me TRE, and i am 44.
