Title: Apply precision measuring instruments.
Course: Precision Machining Technology I (13204-I) > Section: Applying Measurements

Applying precision instruments in the machining industry (e.g., determining the concentricity of a turned part to a lathe's spindle, inspecting dimensions of a finished part) should include determining the compliance of a part of selected dimensions by using the following:

- Micrometer
- Vernier
- Dial and electronic calipers
- Dial indicators
- Coaxial indicators
- Precision transfer tools
  - Telescoping gauges
  - Adjustable parallels

Process/Skill Questions

- What are the names of precision transfer tools?
- What is the difference, when transferring dimension, of using a basic tool as opposed to a precision measuring tool?
- What does a precision measuring tool measure more accurately?
