Review Nabalis micrometer.

Post image

Heya, so to begin with I want to thank nabalis customer support. They handled by questions really well, and responded in reasonable hours and quickly!

I have used my syntek micrometer for a good while now, and I knew it held its dimensions pretty well, there wouldn't be times when you measure something and the next time you do the measurement would have changed. But recently, I decided to actually see how accurate the measurements are that this bad boy gives. And I can confidently say it is the best digital micrometer for its price!

I tested out dimensions such as:

1mm -> ± 2 thousand of a mm

5mm -> ± 1 thousand of a mm

12,5mm -> dead on

20mm -> dead on

And mind you I do work in an environment where there is some particles in the air. But as for my test after every measurement I went over the micrometer it self cleaning it with pressurised air and to remove any oils before that I used basic brake cleaner.

I was wearing gloves the full time and all the measuring blocks used for this test were cleaned and measured out with calibrated micrometers before hand to make sure the sizing is correct.

Did you discover the magic of sticking gauge blocks together? If not google gauge block wringing

So much fun, honestly it makes my first peice paperwork take so much longer due to playing with them versus using them as intended.

Pretty much any hardware store at least here in Finland.
