minus-square@FleetingTit@feddit.delinkfedilink13•2 years agoA normal set of calipers has 3 basic modes of measuring things: inside, outside, and depth. It is amazing to me how many people in this thread don’t know at least one of those or use them wrong.
minus-square@Silentrizz@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink12•2 years agoTil the calipers I use, almost daily, can measure depth. Now I’m less annoyed about the stick protruding from the end lmao
minus-squareBlack616Angelcakelinkfedilink8•2 years agoTbf I use mine daily and had to pause a second thinking what would be the third mode. (never use it to measure depth)
minus-square@hOrni@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 years agoYou can also use the top back side to measure steps. It’s more precise than using the depth gauge.
