Bad Mitutoyo Calipers!

I would never use calipers for measuring bearing bores as they are not accurate enough for that, in sub 1" bores I use a Mits dial bore gauge but find that I can hit -.001 accuracy with a telescoping gauge and micrometer, this is after 20+ years of practice however, the bore gauge is much faster if one has to measure 50 parts per day.
 
The bore gauge is great if you have the size you need. I use telescoping gauges up to where my inside mikes will work.
 
If anyone buys Mitutoyo tools from Amazon, make sure the seller shows: Sold and shipped from Amazon.com,
they are a distributor for Mitutoyo. Anyone else is a gamble, except for maybe TraversToolCo. Caveat Emptor. :)
 
So in reality, like so many of us, it wasn't bad, merely misunderstood. :big grin:Mike
