Default Type of caliper this is?

I am wondering if someone can tell me the brand of caliper this is, how good it is and where you can buy it.

I think I saw it on Router is Still My Name's postings.

Thanks

Steve Bolton

Hi Steve. It's a dial caliper:

Hi SB

Not to sure why you would want one, the 4" or 6" Fractional Digital Caliper is so much better and it's only 7.oo bucks. (plus it will give you both SAE/Metric) read outs on the same tool....dead on and right on the button...

Harbor Freight really has reasonable prices. Router is Still My Name, where did you get those brass bars that are pictured right by the caliper?

Thanks

I agree with Bj, Go with digital one of the 3 in one calipers.

Those Brass bars where custome made by someone that used to sell on eBay.
