I'm in the market for a 1"-2" micrometer,I already have two Chinese vernier 0 - 1" but now I'm looking for a 1-2".
As you know there are all kinds and types of micrometers out there, electronic digital, mechanical digital, digital with vernier scale, or no scale at all, and the old non digital vernier.prices range between $50 to $500.
What do you guys use ,how many do you have? what's you go to outside micrometer?
I have seen Tubalcain using a mechanical digital type but I'm not sure if they'll last long unless I get a quality brand like Mitutoyo ,I most likely will buy an electronic digital type but even those come in two types, those with vernier scale and the other type (that I like the most) which only has a plastic thimble/ratchet stop .
I don't measure anything supercritical so the entry level will most likely will be alright but I'd like to know what you think ,electronic/digital with vernier scale or without the scale? or just a vernier micrometer like my one inch Chinese one that has served me well for a while:
