I have a newer Starrett 6" dial caliper, hardly used, that is now reading off by .025". I don't recall any major impact or event that would have caused this.
Any thoughts on what would cause this and how to fix it?
My next step is to just take it apart.
Thanks
Any thoughts on what would cause this and how to fix it?
- The jaws close without any visible gap - certainly not .025"
- The rack gear appears to be free of any debris
- It was bought new, stored in a case with a gap between the jaws
- I also noticed the dial adjustment turns very hard - but since you typically only move it +/- a few thou, I may have just never noticed this is the norm for this particular caliper
My next step is to just take it apart.
Thanks
