[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 72132, member: 11"] In the first machine shop I worked in my boss and I had to inspect and sort about 1000 plates with holes in them. The holes were either too far apart, acceptable +/- .020 (if I remember right), or too close together. Well he had his fancy Mititoyo digitals and I had the verniers that dad gave me when he quit using them as a mechanic. When it was all done my boss had sorted 20 more parts than I had. He was about 1 minute ahead of me. I have never before or since had such a demand for being fast and accurate so like I said I am hard pressed to "upgrade". The only caveat would be the issue with vision but at 36 trips around the sun (soon to be 37) my vision is 20/20 and I don't see (no pun meant) that changing any tiome soon. I wonder who else here still uses vernier calipers? [/QUOTE]
