Mitutoyo 153-207 Micrometer Head

[Doug Gray]

i have thought about that, but wonder.. would there be the chance of damage to the face

Or how the delicate threads would hold up?

Or how the delicate threads would hold up?

I use a micrometer head on my carriage stop for my Sherline lathe on occasion. I don't slam into it so the head has held up fine for decades. You don't need one for a carriage stop very often but sometimes when a bore has to be at a precise depth, it's nice to have it.

I have never seen a micrometer stop that the threads had been damaged from slamming into it.
Now corrosion is another story...
As for the face, if it hits the mating surface across the face and not on the edge it will hold up fine.
I have seen them decades old crust un readable chipped and still working fine.

Stumbled across a very cool use tonight. Micrometer controlled follow rest

Nick is an interesting dude, he has just gotten a big gig for some small precision parts, and you can tell he excited.

I've used one to make a custom test fixture to measure parts in a production environment.
