And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Those are extremely nice. I've never needed to get to the last decimal place (10 millionths of an inch) but if your technique is good, the Mitutoyo mike will get you there.
As a machinist and inspector for well over 40 years I have come to trust my personal measuring instruments: MTI, Etalon, B&S, Interapid. (Some older Lufkin and NSK, and a Starrett or two as well.) None of them are digital, electronic or have "dummy wheels."
I'm a calibration tech for a living. You might be surprised how many people have no idea how to read a Vernier scale, and can only use digital or dial models. Like my 3-on-the-tree, no-power-steering pickup, you have to be of a certain era to operate them.
I spent a lot of hours using one of these during the last 20 years of my working career. I especially loved using the ones with the SPC output. Tap a button and the attached computer would log the reading. Sure makes a big difference in the time it takes when doing hundreds of reading at a time.

I have 2, and both are manual.
ReplyDeleteNo dead batteries when I need it.
