[CAUT] Mitutoyo gauge

[Alan Eder]

Hi Jim,

And I know it’s not meant to be used like Idid (compression) and as Alan pointed out.
I only pointed that out in case someone else wanted to be a real boy scout about pursuing the compress-ability thing (and has at least $400.00 in their discretionary spending fund for a durometer--pricey, as Ted pointed out).  I did not mean to imply that you were using your dial pressure gauge incorrectly.  I think I'll start using mine that way too!  Thanks for the tip.

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

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

I use similar dial pressuregauges for measuring various compress-able materials (such as action cloth andcardboard), but to get a consistent measurement rather than to get acomparative "compress-ability" measurement.  For that, the besttool would probably be a durometer.

John P,

 

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