A normal set of calipers has 3 basic modes of measuring things: inside, outside, and depth. It is amazing to me how many people in this thread don't know at least one of those or use them wrong.

You can also use the top back side to measure steps. It's more precise than using the depth gauge.

Step measurement is done with these surfaces and examples can be seen here.
