reading Vernier scales

Oct 12, 2003 4 Replies

OK, it's been a long time, and those college years are a blur (....3... ok, maybe 4...... acres, tops, I swear...).



Anyway, I remember learning to read Vernier scale (like on a caliper), but the readings I'm making lately don't jive with what I know to be true, based on a good scale (Incra rule).



Anybody know of a good set of instructions on reading a Vernier scale caliper? (website, otherwise?)



Again, thanks a heap.

Actually thanks for podsting your question. I never knew, or thought to ask, how to read one.
