For years I've had a Starret dial caliper...from my engine days...
And I've lost it...my heart sank...
First thought...what's the big deal, Nick...just replace it. And then I got knocked back by the price to replace...:surprise:
So thinking back to some igaging tools I've seen I decided to check theirs out...WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE....! ! !
I ordered it from Amazon for $29.95... https://www.amazon.com/iGaging-Frac...al+caliper&qid=1576601096&s=industrial&sr=1-3
It came yesterday and I am very pleased...strong, sturdy, beefy, feels solid in the hand, all stainless steel...and nice and heavy...
The inside green area measures in decimal...the outside white area will EASILY get you down to 1/128's. Two ruler scales...inch by 1/8's and inch by 1/10's...
The dial face can be zeroed...but it came spot on...
If you're looking for a dial caliper or just want to get away from digital, take a peek at this one...or if you're wanting to throw out your HF model and don't want to be seen doing it...:smile:
