Re: Survey - Micrometer Vernier Usage

To All:

I was just curious as to how many use the vernier on the sleeve/barrel of a micrometer (even when measuring to tenths)

[ ] I use the vernier every time I use a micrometer or depth mic.

[X] I use the vernier only when the accuracy requires it.

[ ] I don't use the vernier - just estimate the tenths from the distance to the next .001 mark - from experience I've found it makes little real difference.

[ ] What's a vernier?

[ ] That's what digital mics are for.
