Hey, I recently picked up a Brown & Sharp outside Micrometer, but unfortunately it didnt come with a standard or an adjustment wrench. I'm looking at a set of rod standards, but what is the procedure for actually adjusting the micrometer?

Can anyone give me a good explanation for doing this or point me towards an online guide? Where do you phyically use the wrench on the mic to adjust it?


Thanks!

 

do you have any pics?

there should be a dial on it...

or contact the makers of it... :shrugs:

 

ok, i'll post a picture of it and maybe someone will see how to calibrate it, i probably can figure it out without the special wrench.

 

first of what size is the mic? Becuase if it is just a 0-1 u dont need any standards to calibrate it, just the wrench. 1-2 and up u will need the standards to adjust accordingly. to answer ur question as to where the wrench goes, there a small hole on the non moving part of the spindle and the wrench is just a mini spanner wrench. so whenyou have the guage in the mic just line up the zeros the best u can

 

its a 1-2" mic. I see a hole, but it is on part of the moving part of the handle. so I need to stick something in there and turn the handle or what?

 

pm'd you
