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

And all things considered that is how important it is.

Every now and again itā€™s just great to hear music no matter the tech

Tonight Iā€™m enjoying the hi

It would be finished now, but the complications with Louā€™s health situation means that Iā€™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.
