1st and foremost YA GET WHAT CHA PAY FOR!
buy cheaP AZZ HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS.................PEN IN A DATE IT WILL FAIL BY! howz bouts tommorrow?
you purchased a STARRETT model 120Z if i am correct. 0-6" dial caliper.
i really dont give a crap what yer buddy bought, if he bought cheap he gets cheap.
if it says HECHO IN CHEENA(china) then you/he DID IT TO YERSELF!
now let me guess you bought a 6" ruler 10ths /hundredths/32nds/64ths ruler.
if it doesnt say MADE IN USA..................well guess what plan on all yer measurements being screwed.
ANY MACHINE SHOP WORTH A DAMN WOULD NOT EVEN ALLOW YOU IN THE DOOR WITH CHEAP NON CALIBRATED TOOLS!
oh by the way did ya take yer INSTRUCTIONS AND READ THEM?
starrett nor anybody can gurrantee calibration once a precision tool leaves factory.
THATS WHY THEY HAVE A TOOL CRIB WITH PRECISION GAGE BLOCKS AND HIGH BUCK DEAD NUTZ TRU STARRETT PINK GRANITE SURFACE PLATES!
and that where ya get yer TOOLING CALIBRATED DEAD NUTZ!
anything less and yer stroking yerself and the company ya work for cant spell Q.C. (quality control) let alone the word TOLERANCE!
oh by the wayy i literally sold millions of dollars of STARRETT TOOLING over my life.
so either take to tool crib and have CALIBRATED or send it back to ATHOL MASS! and they will repair it. once ya receive it...................ya go to CALIBRATION AND USE PRECISION GAGE BLOCKS TO CALIBRATE!
drop the tool/hammer the tool/crush the tool/bang the tool..................YOU MUST HAVE RE CALIBRATED PERIOD!
if yer parts are WRONG YER FIRED! end of lesson.
BUY MADE IN USA TOOLING AND SAVE YOUR JOB!
p.s. a certain aerospace company i know very well has a 1 BILLION DOLLAR BACKLOG OF "HOT AOG"(plane aint moving until correct part installed) and "AOG"(aircraft on ground) due to shipping raw parts to be machined offshore!
or think like this...........how would ya like to be in the space shuttle KNOWING all the parts purchased were done on LOW BID!
if there is ANYTHING THAT WILL DRIVE A COMPANY(ANY) UNDER FASTER....................ITS POOR QUALITY CONTROL!
