Hi All: I haven't been on this forum lately because I have been busy with a bunch of stuff. I recently bought a slightly used Starrett No.733 2" to 3" Electronic Micrometer. The price I paid was more than reasonable and I snapped it up from the guy that had it. Unfortunately, I paid more attention to how the electronic display worked than the "mechanical" readings on the sleeve and thimble. It came with a 2.0" gage block which is spot on per my other measuring tools, but when I install the gage block the thimble shows a reading that's .015" undersize. I have verified this with some of my other gage blocks. So my question to the group is this, does anyone know of a way to correct this problem without sending the micrometer back to Starrett? I don't think that this could be corrected by simply turning the sleeve as .015" is a lot of turning on the sleeve. Thanks for any help in this matter.
