Welcome to the forum Elbert, you will find differing answers between members and it's up to you to read between the lines. As for brass set-up bars, I'm in Australia but purchased mine from Oak Park who are the one's who operate this forum at their own expense and in return I personally feel that some loyalty is deserved. A 6" digital caliper is my preferred choice when both metric and imperial measurements are going to be used however if only one or the other is involved, then a dial one is more robust and plenty accurate for woodwork. Some members tend to purchase tools in quantity, I'm not sure if this is to get a quantity discount or to because they are prone to losing them.
