But I am all for double checking, so I got a different caliper, Brown & Sharpe Interapid 12"/300mm caliper within calibration date and get a measurement of 1.75mm. I also used a Starrett 0-1" mic (no calibration date) and get .069 inches which converts to 1.7526mm. Thanks
It's very easy to accidentally press that little tare button on digital calipers while reaching for the off button. Then from that point on - everything is way off.
This caliper only has one button. There is something wrong with the hardware. Daily use of the caliper is taking measurements of parts with a standard tolerance of +/- .0625", so measuring the filament and square is probably tightest work this caliper has done in a long time...doesn't mean it shouldn't be able to do it, just mean the operator will have to know that and keep it in mind...short answer: its not going to be fixed or replaced.
