It may provide repeatable readings, but they may or may not be the actual size if not set by a ring. I've been embarrassed by that issue more than once in my life.

What about setting a dial bore if you don't have the appropriate ring? Is there a good way to do it if you have gauge blocks? Or perhaps the appropriate micrometer ? Many of us cannot afford a bunch of rings. I have a few rings; but there are bound to be times they are not suitable for the job at hand. Thanks.
