Why not proper mitutoyo verniers they are 1/2 the price of those digital abominations
I have mitutoyo verniers

I have a decent larger set (Etalon) already. I wanted (a) a smaller set and (b) a set with a readout for convenience.

Use these ones which are very good

Every now and again it’s just great to hear music no matter the tech

Tonight I’m enjoying the hi

It would be finished now, but the complications with Lou’s health situation means that I’ve had a lot more on my plate than I expected. I do need to make a serious effort to finish it by the spring though, even if it means working into the night.
