What is one type of tool that can be used for misalignment measurement?

Using micrometers for misalignment measurement is particularly effective due to their precision and capability to provide accurate measurements of small distances. Misalignment in machinery often requires precise measurements to identify gaps and offsets that can lead to operational issues. Micrometers can measure the spacing between machine components with high accuracy, enabling technicians to diagnose and correct alignment problems effectively.

In contrast, while air compressors, power drills, and rulers may serve useful roles in other contexts within maintenance and assembly, they lack the requisite precision needed for accurately measuring the small tolerances associated with alignment issues. Therefore, micrometers are the preferred tool for this specific application in the field of millwright alignment.
