gypsyjazzer Posted June 10, 2020 Posted June 10, 2020 What is the most accurate dial thickness caliper to buy? Best make? (To thickness the top of a DB / Guitar). Quote

Stub Mandrel Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I've got a Mitutoyo and a Moore and Wright. I've also got Aldi and have and have had various other cheap ones. The Mitutoyo is a joy to use, beautifully finished and the batteries last longer and it remembers its setting when turned off for months. As for accuracy, as long as you have one that reads to the precision you require and you remember to zero it before use (cheap ones drift with temperature) they all work well enough for woodwork! <Edit> I wrote a review - I've found it online: https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/sites/7/documents/digital_caliper_review.pdf Edited June 13, 2020 by Stub Mandrel Quote
Si600 Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Interesting that the price difference between the gold standard and a near as dammit identical performer is £100. When was that published? Quote

When was that published? It's dated November 18, so I wrote it October 18. The difference between Mitutoyo and the cheap M&W is like between an 80s MIJ Fender and a CBS one 😉 The Machine DRO one is a Harley Benton or Squier 🙂 Quote
