[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 493905, member: 24624"] I'm getting set to chamber my first barrel on my new Grizzly and was watching Gordy Gritter's DVD. He makes a big deal out of dialing in the bore to less than .0001" and points out the extra long contact point on his indicator which happens to be a Mitutoyo 513-504 as shown when they zoom in close. So, I thought I should get one just like it. But when I look around, I can't find that model with an extra long tip. In fact, I can't find any .0001" horizontal style indicators with an extra long tip. The best I've come up with is .0005". Did Mitutoyo make a model 513-504 with .0001" accuracy/graduation using an extra long tip/contact point? Or, did he simply replace the standard tip with an extra long one? And if so, wouldn't that reduce the accuracy back down to about .0005" except that it's no long calibrated or reading accurately? As far as dialing in goes, calibration is less relevant since you're trying to get as close to zero as possible. But, I don't want to kid myself about the true accuracy of the setup either. Thanks!
