This channel is wonderful and you guys deserve a huge following. Thank you for the education. The perspective offered in this video was really clarifying and surprising. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
I have found Suburban Tools videos very informative. (I was born in 1979 and wish the Metric Conversion Act passed in 1975 had been mandatory and not voluntary.) Using the comparison of one mile to 6.33 inches to explain just how precise .0001 really is was agreat idea! Thanks for sharing!
I usually work on half thousand tolerances daily (bearing housings, impellers, etc) … a great day for me to be “wide open” would be +/- .001 maybe .002 which still is definitely not much .Precision Grinding is definitely an art .
Love all the precession measurement equipment and seeing what is capable. One of my favourites is Dan Gelbart's workshop and his high precision lathe. The measurements that are capable are mind blowing
Wow! A Cadillac gauge. 90% of the guys I work with never even heard of one. Our shop doesn't even have any of the old-school Starrett transfer stands. Everything is the digital micro hight thingys I had to be shown how to use when I was hired in.
As a civil engineer and surveyor, I have measured a mile or more with a steel surveyor's 100-foot tape within less than 0.1 of a foot. One inch is 0.083333 ft., so within 6.33 inches is readily doable. I do know where you are coming with these relative distances and appreciate them.
Cant wait! I need to maybe learn better practices but never found good trustworthy information on it. Ironically my day job requires me to measure that mile of road to the inch lol
I find it amazing how many machinists call digital calipers or dial calipers verniers. They are all calipers that measure different ways. Why not just call them calipers? God bless you all!
Instead of dividing by an inch, what happens if you give an inch? Do you then have to take a mile? When I was young I could measure within ten thousandths with a steel rule. Sadly, those days are gone. :)
From a metric perspective this is perfect. Thanx!
Glad it was helpful!
Happy to see you're uploading more frequently now Don&Glen.
Looking forward to finding time to watch this series carefully. I appreciate your efforts to share your experience and expertise with us. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great to see you making videos again. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
Glad to see you are returning to making RUclipss again!
This is going to be one of the best series. Really lookinh forward to it thanks
I left this field about 6 months ago to get into Controls Engineering... I miss measuring sooo much!
Thank you everyone for making a great video.

Looking good. Lovely to see a new video from you. Very useful as well.
Thank you for taking the time to impart your knowledge!
Many thanks to you Don and Glenn for posting such vids - there's always something to learn from a different perspective.
YES, YES, YES!
I have been hoping for stuff like this!
Bring it on, and dive in deep!
Don, Thanks for the Video. Looking forward to the next video's. Great to see you back. Metrology is a great subject. Lots to learn!
love the metrology videos. I’m a glass artist, not a machinist, but I have learned so much from these sorts of vids.

Another awesome video Don & Glenn absolutely love your videos and cant wait for the next installment. :)
Brian Ma. What a great video cant wait for more Thank you Besafe
Nice you caught me off guard with the Zigzag reference👍🏻classic
Looking forward to the series.
Looking forward to it.
Thanks!
👍 always good to see you Mr Bailey! Glen is going to be a toolmaker yet.
Appreciate everything you share.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Knowing how to measure gives you the ability to machine/cut….looking forward to the lessons

Great work, love the way you teach.
Just bought an old deckel jig grinder, maybe some videos on how to operate a jig grinder 😁
Looking forward to anything you put out there Don.
And Tallyho paper is .025 mm thick too.
(?.0254 mm)
Use it all the time finding Z heights.
awesome keep em coming.
love your videos, thanks :)
Measure with a micrometer, mark with a crayon, cut with an axe.
Cant wait! I need to maybe learn better practices but never found good trustworthy information on it. Ironically my day job requires me to measure that mile of road to the inch lol
Great!
looking forward to it Don. metric cross would be nice but i guess its more so about how the measurement is taken. References aside
good video
Glad you enjoyed

God bless you all!

Zigzag??? Glen knew what that was, no puffing on job glen.
Telescopic Gages, feel for using them and micrometers. Height Gages, Jo blocks, sine bar setups etc. Just things to consider discussing
Ok, the math was hard to follow, but the examples are clear
