[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 479225, member: 25383"] I have never seen a micrometer that you can reset the zero that easy. Not a bad idea if the hold their zero. I used to have two cabnets full of micrometers that went all the way up to sixteen inches, and had access to sets that went to 20+". Also had metric sets that went up to about 200mm. My micrometers stayed locked up, and were adjusted to my feel. My dial indicators were cleaned about once every 18 months unless they got dunked, or were dropped. But I often replaced the wands or anvils twice a year due to wear (even the carbide tipped ones wear out). Used everything from 1" travel to .000020" indicators ( I used these to measure flatness of surface plates). All of my measuring tools were checked very often, and rarely needed work. gary [/QUOTE]
