Now this is awesome! 13-14 inches everywhere!

I picked up a couple more Mitutoyo tools. The small micrometer, and a regular caliper to replace my cheap one. I have typically used the micrometer ones because they are good to +/- 5/100,000ths of an inch [1.3 microns]. The regular caliper is only spec’d to .0010 (1/1,000ths of an inch), although the calibration sheet shows an error of only 0.0005″.

The spec sheet for the caliper shows at 2 inches an error of +0.0005, and the spec sheet for the 2 inch gauge block shows an error of 0, and when I measure the block with the caliper it reads 2.0005. I love it when stuff adds up!

Now I’m just walking around measuring stuff.

Nice start to 2017!
