    As a machinist and a quality control gage tec alot if what you did had me cringing but all in all good job you didn't mess up the internals so that's a good start get it calibrated and you just may be good. It is either a mitutoyo or a Starrett micrometer. I use many like this one on a daily basis at work. Love your videos brother keep up the amazing work.

    At the very least, it’s a precision c-clamp. Nice restoration, it looks great.

    You'll have to have it tested. The chances are it may still be operating accurately. Nice clean up. It looks brand new.

    @georgebrown8312 11 месяцев назад +11

    That micrometer looks much better than before. At least you cleaned all the rust off the parts when you disassembled it. You might not have gotten it accurate but you had it working again. Excellent work.

    I once had to use an ultrasonic cleaner to get a suppressor off a rifle that had been left out in a barn for 10 months. Absolute horrendous job and the cleaner stripped the coating off the pistol. But they are quite amazing at getting down in the pitch of the threads and getting rust, dust, dirt and oil out. Great job on this project.

  • @garymucher4082
    @garymucher4082 11 месяцев назад +5

    Unless you recut the fine threads OR changed the length of the quill, I say it will be as accurate as it was manufactured to be... The fine threads set the accuracy if the quill hasn't been changed via thread change or length. To zero it the end stop plug can be adjusted to change that... JMHO!

    "By my life and my love of it, Lost & Restored, you have embodied the spirit of industry and wisdom with this endeavor. As I once said, 'Diligence is the mother of good luck,' and your diligent efforts with this 1950's micrometer have not gone unnoticed. The ingenuity applied here, to breathe new life into a rusted tool, is a testament to the infinite potential of man's innovative spirit. I look forward to observing your future undertakings with great interest!" --Benjamin Franklin

  • @olddog2361
    @olddog2361 11 месяцев назад +2

    Probably not a good idea to hammer and use a punch on a micrometer. Would be interesting to see what a real machinist thought about the accuracy now

    • @shock3018
      @shock3018 10 месяцев назад +1

      As long as it gets recalibrated I can't see any reason it wouldn't be decently accurate. If it measures well on a few different gauge block stacks I wouldn't have any reservations using it.
