Hi,
I just purchased a set of used Mitutoyo Holstester (set of three) metric 6-12 mm. Included were also two set rings. 7.998 and 10.004 mm. Two of the micrometers are more or less within tolerance which is within +/-0.002 mm. The smallest micrometer is off by 0.006 which is three times as much as specified by the tolerance. I have tested the small set rings with the bigger micrometer (8-10 mm) and it is within +/-0.002 mm range, but it looks like the smallest one needs calibration.
Is it possible to "adjust" the micrometer yourself or do I need to send it in for calibration? Expensive? or should I just return the set and look for a new set for sale?
Appreciate any advice.
