Thread: Calipers

Here's some of my measuring gear.
The top one is a very old NSK Japanese vernier. It's my bench vernier. I have no issues with dragging a scriber along its jaws when marking up.
The next one is my 30 year old Mitutoyo, still going strong. If it dies I will replace it with another Mitutoyo.
Then an Insize, from the USA market with curiously metric, imperial and fractions.
A ROK. Cheap chinese. A replacement for the first one that wouldn't measure repeatably. Bought because I needed a longer vernier sometimes. Eats batteries.
The one at the side is a Swiss made Brown and Sharpe. It's Rolls Royce in quality and my favourite for a lot of tasks.

I have amonst my other stuff Insize (and old British) micrometers as well. The brand represents good value. Mitutoya is still tops.
