The micrometer adjustment nut is used by a milling machine operator to limit the depth to which a cutting tool may plunge into a workpiece Photograph of a micrometer adjustment nut on a milling machine. On a manual milling machine, the micrometer adjustment nut limits the depth to which the cutting tool may plunge into the workpiece.
Many differential screw configurations are possible. The micrometer adjuster pictured uses a nut sleeve with different inner and outer thread pitches to connect a screw on the adjusting rod end with threads inside the main barrel; as the thimble rotates the nut sleeve, the rod and barrel move relative to each other based on the differential between the threads.
The spindle can generally be lowered (or the table can be raised, giving the same relative effect of bringing the cutter closer or deeper into the work), allowing plunge cuts and drilling. The depth to which blades cut into the work can be controlled with a micrometer adjustment nut. There are two subcategories of vertical mills: the bed mill ...
Modern micrometer with a reading of 1.639 ± 0.005 mm. Assuming no zero error, this is also the measurement. (One may need to enlarge the image to read it.) Outside, inside, and depth micrometers. The outside micrometer has a unit conversion chart between fractional and decimal inch measurements etched onto the frame
English: Illustration of a micrometer caliper. The micrometer is showing a measurement of 7.145 mm ± 0.005 mm. Legend: Anvil: part that the spindle moves toward, and that the sample rests against; Spindle: moved by the thimble towards the anvil; Ratchet stop: limits applied pressure by slipping at a calibrated torque
A fine adjustment screw is a screw with threads between 40 and 100 threads per inch (TPI); 0.5–0.2 mm pitch. An ultra-fine adjustment screw has 100–508 TPI (0.2–0.05 mm pitch). Even though these are non-standard threads, both ISO metric screw thread designations and UNC designations have been used to call out thread dimensions and fit ...

A pair of go and no-go gauges. A go/no-go gauge is an inspection tool used to check a workpiece against its allowed tolerances via a go/no-go test. Its name is derived from two tests: the check involves the workpiece having to pass one test (go) and fail the other (no-go).
