Tip: To get the calipers over the raised "lip" at the edge of the disc problem.

You can use regular calipers instead of micrometer, by grabbing a couple of common washers and hold one to each side of the disc and caliper that thickness. If you zero your caliper on the 2 washers alone, you don't even have to do any math to subtract the thickness of the washers to arrive at the disc thickness.
