Hi everyone,
I am having a hard time finding anyone agree on how to handle calibration in general, so I thought I'd turn to you.
I'm in precision machining, so we have all the standard stuff: calipers, thread/pin/height gages, micrometers, etc.
Question: When we buy a new tool and it comes with a certificate (in this case a caliper), how do you determine the next calibration date? There is no date on the certificate, I'm assuming this certificate was issued at the time of manufacture. I don't know how long it was sitting on a shelf or how that works. Should I just put the date we started using it?
Thanks!!
