Hi Al,

It's a good question, but the answer is probably a micrometer or a dial 

caliper.

 With the dial caliper, you have to be sure there's no raised edge or 

burrs present to get a good reading.

 Any recommendations for the best tool for measuring the thickness of 

 sheet aluminum?  Inexpensive is preferred if accuracy is reasonably good.



 I don't trust my old eyes to tell the difference in thickness between 

 unmarked pieces of sheet aluminum (6061-T6) without laying them on a 

 flat piece of glass next to another piece of known thickness.  Not too 

 hard to see a piece of .032 isn't .016 but not quite so easy with 

 smaller pieces of .020, 025, etc. 



 Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but maybe my display of 

 ignorance can benefit some others.
