Starrett: How To Use Yankee Spring Type Calipers

A Starrett Yankee Spring Type Caliper is a traditional measuring tool made from high-grade flat stock steel. The tool's adjusting nut and screw work against the tension of a bow-style spring to hold the legs in a set position. It is commonly used to measure the width of a part feature, then moved to a steel rule to measure the dimension. The tool requires a precise touch and feel and some experience to use effectively. It can be used to measure the diameter of a groove on a part on a lathe, or to ensure that an outside dimension on a group of parts does not exceed a specified value. The key takeaway is that a Starrett Spring Type Caliper and similar inside and outside calipers can be very useful with willingness and time to learn how to use them.
