Title: Describe the principles and technology of precision measurement operations.
Course: Precision Machining Technology I (13203-I) > Section: Exploring the Foundations of Machining

Description should include

- determining the concentricity of a turned part to a lathe's spindle
- inspecting dimensions of a finished part
- identifying precision comparison measuring tools (e.g., telescoping gauges, adjustable parallels) to determine the compliance of a part of selected dimensions
- reading the following:
  - Micrometer
  - Vernier
  - Dial
  - Electronic calipers
  - Dial indicators
  - On-Machine Measuring Equipment

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the four basic measurements made with a dial caliper?
- What are the basic operations performed with a combination square?
- What are the differences between scales and rulers?
