I picked up this micrometer the other day. Didn’t research it much before hand but it was a good price so I went for it. Does anyone know much about it or have a manual for it? I’ve tried Mitutoyo’s website directly but they only have more recent models listed.
It’s a model 293-201. Serial 490669 if that means anything to anyone.
What I’m wanting to know specifically is:
Can it be set to always default to metric? If you convert between the two it zeros so you have to re set it which is a pain.
Can it remember it’s last position? At the moment whenever it is turned on it defaults to 00.000 regardless of position.
On two occasions now it has been left on for a few minutes and displayed 88.888. I then have to re-zero which is a massive pain. I removed the batteries and reinstalled which does seem to have helped but not sure why it happened in the first place.
Thanks in advance for your input. It’s a nice tool to hold but the little issues above mean I’ll probably stick to my manual ones for now!
