I to use that method but it's easy for me as my lathe has dials for the dia.

So the guess o meters tell me I have 1mm to take off just dial in 1 on the dial and Bobs your uncle

So set to say 32 mm manually, zero it, press the ins/mm button, now when you read it the amount to remove will be in inches.

OK, now I feel stupid  :smart:  :scratch:  :coffee:  :zap:

I shall definitely remember that trick for next time, thank you!

It's always the simple ways that we overlook :/

Finding the centre of two holes.

Holes need to be the same size.

Stick the internal points into one hole and measure across, then zero the calliper.
Now measure from the outside of one hole to the outside of the other with the infernal points and you have the centre distance.

John,I like your method  :clap: .I must remember to give that a try next time I need to find relative centre distances....OZ
