30 years ago, I worked in a shop and used these gauges all the time...but I've forgotten some details.
As I recall, you would used a setting gage of a given diameter to first establish the baseline of the dial gauge. Then, you'd use the gauge to measure the bore, etc.
Is that right? In other words, without the setting gage, the dial bore gauge is not that useful?
What range is considered acceptable when selecting a setting gage? In other words, if I want to measure a 2.100" bore, is there any issue with using a 2.090" gage as the starting point?
I'm looking at buying this gauge but also want to know if I need to buy setting gages etc.
