Chris' Tips
Here are some tips on using calipers.What is the difference between accuracy and resolution?
Accuracy—indicates how close a measured value is to the true quantity of what is being measured.
Resolution—is the smallest increment the system can display or measure. It's one division on a dial, or the smallest increment of the righmost digit on a digital display.
