▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ VIDEO ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
In this short tools for making knives video, knife maker Gillian explains how to read a micrometer. The micrometer is a precision measuring instrument, that accurately measures to the .0001 of an inch. Learn how to read micrometer in inches after watching this short micrometer reading video.

First the micrometer sleeve reading is recorded in increments of .025 Next the thimble of the micrometer is read in .0005 of an inch, taken from the line zero of the sleeve. This reading from the micrometer’s thimble, is then added onto the first measurement taken from the micrometer’s sleeve reading. Finally, the .0001 of an inch can be read on the micrometer, by seeing which line of the sleeve, and the thimble lines up perfectly. Beginner knife makers, wanting to learn how to make folding pocket knives, will have to learn how to read micrometers.
