The video tutorial explains how to use a caliper to measure objects accurately. It begins with aligning the zero on the vernier scale with the zero on the main scale, then demonstrates reading measurements on the main scale. The tutorial further explains using the vernier scale for precise measurements by identifying coinciding lines. Several examples illustrate the process, showing how to calculate measurements by adding the main scale reading to the vernier scale reading. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to engage with the content.
