Speaking of measuring tools, can anyone tell me the
correct procedure for using a dial cylinder gauge?

I have one I got from Enco.  The dial is marked
0-.25" and .0005" and the increments go from 0
to 25 at the bottom and back to zero.

What I don't understand is how to zero it.  I've been using
it by zeroing it against a micrometer, which is ok for
occaisional use but frustrating.  I don't get the 0 to 25 and
back to 0 bit either- full travel of the gauge moves the pointer
one full rotation.  What's being measured here?


Thanks!

Eric
