Model craft micrometer 0-25mm
A Micrometer is a precision measuring instrument. Also called a "Mike" by Pundits. There are
many different styles and sizes of micrometers. This information will pertain to the common
micrometer caliper. It consists of only a few parts. The Frame, Anvil, Spindle, Cam Lock, Hub,
Thimble, and Ratchet Cap.
The measurement is taken by placing the item you want to measure between the Anvil and
Spindle. Tighten the Ratchet Cap with the thumb and index finger until it slips. Then lock the
Cam Lock and slide the micrometer off. With the micrometer off you can now take the readings.
