Gaging Amplifier And Probes

Brass or dead-blow hammer?

ROFLMAO......Jon Banquer claiming he knows how to manually dial in 1/2 millionth.....what was the repeatability.

EXACTLY what equipment did you use to dial in .0000005"?

-- Tom

Are you sure about the one half millionth? That's one 20th of one tenth. I think thats the thickness of a helium atom? lol

Seriously though, the last place I worked had them in every room, they are the bomb for sure. What I liked is you could check over 20 inches well within a tenth all day long. I wish I had one on my surface plate. Maybe with the economy the way it is we will be able to pick them up for 20 bucks at auctions.

As far as the gaging amplifiers, theyv'e actually been around for 25+ years. People seem to use them a lot when using long point indicators. It can turn a 3" long point indicator into one capable of showing a half tenth of movement if you have things rigid. Pick up an old used one and hook new indicator tips to it, the technology is the same as it is now, except maybe the backround paper will be yellow, but the precision of the needle and electronics is prolly better the older it is.

U Da Man....lil jonnie doofus......U Da Man.......a lil lyin lil man but UDAMAN none the less.

Nope made a mistake and unlike most of the other idiots in this thread I'm man enough to admit when I make a mistake.

I meant 50 millionths... 1/2 a tenth.

Not $20 but $150 to $100 should be no problem. Do you remember what brand you used?

There seem to be two types of probes. What kind of probe are you referring to?

I tend to doubt older electronics are better. Got some proof of this?

The two types appear to be lever and plunger and you are obviously referring to the lever type.

Only saw your mistake, who else are you saying made a mistake in this thread?

-- Tom

Here is a gaging amplifier for less than $100

Hey....lil jonnie.....when you say "other idiots" you're callin yourself an idiot too......i think you're a lil retarded. :)
