Sounds like what you're doing is enough if you have no cal related failures. One word of warning regarding calipers: If you use them for ID measurement I'd make the cal. interval short or verify with each use because these thin ID measuring thingys wear down awfully fast in some applications -- much faster than the jaws usually do. Also, watch the thin portion of the jaws compared to the thicker portion. :bigwave:

We currently calibrate Mics and Calipers every six months (unless dropped or damaged).

We do use the ID measurement just as much as the OD. This will be changing soon. (We've discussed and agreed that many of our in-process checks are over kill. Control plan and inspection frequency changes are in the works.)

We also pay under $20 for most gages. So it probably would be a wash on some of the less-simple in-house-capable calibrations.

Thanks for the input.
