Oh you have the money , you gotta have the biggest YA can. At least 36" minimum 24" . But I'm a toolaholic and have to many tools or do I .
My mics and calipers go up to 12" and I hadn't needed to take a precision measurement over 12" so far in the last few years of home shop machining. Just wondering if its worth picking up a 18" or 24" caliper for the off chance I may need one. Just don't want to spend money on tools I may never use. For those that own larger measuring tools how often do you use them?
I carry a 12" caliper with me as I travel to set up clamps on bottle making machines, but what prompted my input to this thread was an ex- engineer I worked with would regularly specify dimensions in excess of 100" to 4 decimal places. For a part that in times past would have been laid out with a tape measure
