HI All,
Getting accuracy with any measuring tool is down to having a lot of practice , this is one reason why the same person should do measurements for fits ie od on a shaft and id on the bearing this way if you need a specified clearance or interference that is what you will end up with because every bodys feel is slightly different .
and lots of practice , if having parts machined take all the parts a long and let them do the measurements .
and most people with little experience will take to long taking the measurement and end up not to sure if they are right,
but don't let it put you off just practice and you will gain confidence
