[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 591476, member: 25383"] I've never had a problem with the Mitutoyos loosing their zero, unless I get a grain of powder down in the gear and rack. Then I just reset it back to zero. With a Starrett you have to take the head apart. Can't remember how a Brown & Sharpe resets, but bet it's like a Starrett. That's the nice thing about digital calipers in that all you need to do is go back and reset the zero. I Have one digital pair that has an out put link to dump the data into a PC, but where the cable is at I can't say (if I even have one). One pair I have has an added feature to setup a working window (maybe Fowlers). The bad thing about digitals is the battery going dead on you. I always keep a pack of batterys close by. I have two or three pairs of B&S mics, and they are good quality (better than their machinery). Still I never could get the feel out of them I wanted. Now days it Starrett, but f Lufkin were still producing mics that's all I'd own. Had a B&S wth the digital head on it for a couple years, and finally pitched it after the head slipped about a half dozen times when I needed it the most. I also like to keep it simple. gary [/QUOTE]
