So what???? It takes a bit of skill to develop a proper touch,but I get 1/4 thou. measurements on small diameter things with my dial caliper. Been doing it for many years.
If you think it's hard,I recommend getting magnifier reading glasses!:)
The trouble with ANY caliper is they are not as rigid as a mike,and take more skill to use.
If you really need a more serious measurement,of course use a mike. Preferably one with a ratcheting thimble as it removes the human touch factor.
