Reply To: Questions about digital calipers

[JOSEPH BRINCAT]

I’m with frankr on this one… I have two chinaesium digital calipers and a “no name chianesium” dial caliperthe I have had for years. The two digital ones pretty much stay in the tool box , batteries removed. The go to tool is the dial caliper… it’ always ready, no dead batteries. Oh’ and buy the way all three are on the money within 0.001 , good enough for most work. Need to be closer, it’s the USA – B&S mic.
I also have a chianesium 6 inch linear scale mounted on the Z axis of my mill-drill, It’s basically a caliper sans the jaws. It works fine , but the batteries are a PIA. Seems like every time I go to the mill the thing is dead. I’m considering rigging a AA cell in a battery holder and hard wiring it in.
