[CAUT] Mitutoyo gauge

[Jim Busby]

True. That’s why I said it wasn’t really scientific, but it’s all I have. If you use it like I mentioned in the previous post it can show that one punching compresses more than another. It doesn’t quantify anything.

I use similar dial pressure gauges for measuring various compress-able materials (such as action cloth and cardboard), but to get a consistent measurement rather than to get a comparative "compress-ability" measurement.  For that, the best tool would probably be a durometer.

John P,

Here is a pic of the gauge I use for thickness. (It’s not zeroed out.)
