OK, so be honest…how many of you knew about this fourth way to measure using your dial calipers? Until Andy Chidwick described it at the Woodworking Show here in Denver I never knew. The instructions that came with my calipers don’t even mention it!

Nice – I am going to have to check if that holds true for my digital set…

Quite a ride to the outer limits Pete. A nice and helpful blog. I learned about a new dimension. As far as conversions go I have a digital caliper, so I just press a button to convert. However, that conversion is decimal, so not nearly as helpful as on the dial caliper! Thanks for telling us this closely guarded secret.

I get it. I’m going to go out to the shop and play with my calipers! If I don’t come back from the fourth dimension send someone in to rescue me.
