Can someone give me some pointers on a Mitutoyo 162-102 bench micrometer? This is the large mic with a sliding head stock and an integral 0.0001" indicator.
It is not very repeatable. I can set zero it with Jo blocks close to the size that we are measuring but when the part is checked at a known size it is reading about .001" low and the pointer only returns to within 0.0003 during successive measurements.
I am thinking it might be the anvil pressure but I can't figure out how to change it.
What is the small dial in front that is graduated .5 to 3?
There seems to be a lock at the upper left on the rear side but it doesn't seem to lock anything.
Thanks in advance.
