How to use a Micrometer Screw Gauge
- Open the micrometer by turning the thimble or ratchet.
- Place the object to be measured between the spindle and anvil.
- Close the spindle by turning the ratchet, not the thimble. The ratchet prevents excess pressure on the object being measured, so you don’t squash it and get a false reading.
- Now read the scale.
