John, does it have a place to select which metal you are checking? The reason I ask is the guy that did my block said he calibrated to the metal he was checking.
The meter has cd01-cd11 to set from for anything from steel glass pvc copper etc. trouble is when setting it that way you have a cast iron setting, gear cast iron, modular cast iron. Using those settings I think the closest I got it was .020-.030 and who would really know. Heck the one iron setting was .100 off. Using it manually I am setting it to a part of a know thickness. I plugged in the cast iron setting I programmed in three days ago and checked the motor mount on my engine block. There was .002 difference between the checker and my Harbor Freight digital calipers. That’s close enough for this guy. I found the manual setting to be.
6350 aluminum
4950 engine block
5890 steel
That may save someone some time. I don’t really have a lot of time to play with it now but wanted to check it out in case it didn’t work. It has a .198 steel button on it to calibrate to for steel.
