[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 765354, member: 39764"] Riley... Not back, end. Front is the read side back is the backside. Thats IP54 rated btw. Just means you can splash coolant on them with no adverse effects. You'll need to get the depth base. Not sure if the LSS base fits the Mititoyo but it might. Maybe Gary knows. I would have told you to get a set of 60 division verniers but thats too complicated for today. Thats for Gary and I to fiddle with......:D Mititoyo has come a long way from the 'junk' they sold in the mid 60's. Don't use them for a clamp and don't store them with the jaws completely closed. Now you need a good 0-1 micrometer and some inside and outside Yankee style calipers.... Fowler makes a nice 0-1 IP54 rated carbide anvil mike that reads inch and metric with 0.0001 resolution. I have one for a shop mike. It was around 50 bucks. Comes with a ball anvil too. When you are done using your tools, take a lint free rag with a tiny bit of light oil and wipe them carefully and put them away. Fingerprints, even on stainless, will tarnish the finish. [/QUOTE]
