[CAUT] Mitutoyo gauge

[Jim Busby]

Hi Ted,

It’s very useful. And I know it’s not meant to be used like I did (compression) and as Alan pointed out. But it did help to verify that some punchings were firmer than others, and not just my imagination.

Best,
Jim

I have used the same Mitutoyo gauge for years, and find it indispensable. A Durometer measures hardness, comparable toRockwell testing for metals. Very expensive, unfortunately.

I use similar dial pressure gauges for measuring various compress-able materials (such as action cloth and cardboard), but to get a consistent measurement rather than to get a comparative "compress-ability" measurement.  For that, the best tool would probably be a durometer.

John P,

Here is a pic of the gauge I use for thickness. (It’s not zeroed out.)
