The Secret to Ultimate Precision

Most people would probably be pretty shocked how much money is sitting in that box. 😅

lol... the theatrics are not needed. I would rub them on my work shirt for a moment then slide them together and they stuck just fine.

It’s not ultimate. These blocks are for poor people. Rch people use ceramic Mitutoyo gauge blocks :)

this is the male equivalent of having a closet full of shoes but with real use

They are called Slip Gauges. They are manufactured to a high surface finish, they also used as standard of measurement. When the gauges are “rung” together the air pushed out so they stick together.

Why are gauge blocks so sexy?

Love those gauge blocks. When we were in school, the odd student would drop a nickel on the floor while we were setting up in metrology class.

If they are parallel and smooth how do they lock into place? Unless they are concave and coarse so there's friction

An old job = lot of QA/QC work. Start/mid/end of day calibrating diff machines Drift is real.

Just rub them, they will stick together

So they’re NOT lick and stick like the new guy is saying?

Mitutoyo ❤️

We have MM

@grok What is these blocks made of ? How could they stick to each other just by rubbing ?

I dare not say how many of those bits were lost/missing in my old workplace... You could get at least 3 full sets with missing bits... If they weren't missing.

my uncle taught me how to use them

@grok ماهو هذا الشيء؟

This always amazes me, I gotta see in person

The magic to me isn't the wringing, it's the ability to wear nitrile gloves for any real period of time. My hand would be drenched in minutes.

interessante

That’s how you do it? I just use tape 😂

@grok o que é isso no vídeo e para que serve?

やはりミツトヨなのか。

日本三丰的量块

This is called "wringing".

@grok what are these for?

Do they ever fuse together?

nice to own a set. but way above my pay grade.

I’ve always wondered if thermal expansion is relevant in these tools?
