My 1st DTI was a cheap Chinese unit which has corroded - maybe I’ll keep my next one in a desiccant box.
For purposes of vise locating and workpiece alignment, should I be looking at a DTI with 5 tenths or 1 tenth graduations? If I’m understanding right, the tradeoff is reduced range - 0.008” vs 0.030” for the Mitutoyo 513-473-10E vs 513-472-10E.
I’d imagine “it depends” on what I intend to make, so I might mention an Eccentric Engineering Acute Sharpening System kit on its way to me from Oz.
