[Shop-talk] Micrometers

[eric at megageek.com]

OK, it's that time of the year again.  Time to talk about micrometers.

Here is the thing, I found a place that will make the rings for me (Thanks 
to Jack B.)  The problem is, that I need to get a good measurement to send 
him.

So after trying all THREE of my micrometers, I realized that the inside 
and outside of the calipers aren't calibrated.  My most accurate 
micrometer has a fixed one so I can't even adjust it.

So, now, not only do I need a new ring, but I need a new micrometer.

Any suggestions?  I prefer a digital readout one and I'm not looking to 
take a second mortgage out on the house. (hopefully, under $100 bucks if 
possible.)

Thanks!
