[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1840775, member: 29632"] When did I ever say I thought I was able to read down to a tenth with any caliper? If my memory serves me correct I said I break out the micrometer if my cheapo harbor freight digital caliper is not up to the precision of the task at hand. If you were to actually read and comprehend what I said then maybe give it a bit of thought you could see the point I'm getting at is on a digital of any quality it jumps from .001 to .0015 and there is no chance of interpolation where abouts it is in between the 2 numbers, with an analog measuring device you can get an idea of whether it's closer to .001 or .0015. No you cannot precisely determine what the measurement is in between those two, but you can certainly know if it's closer to one or the other. [/QUOTE]
