That's how people are different. My calipers keep me sane. I measure
EVERYTHING under 4" with them. I use it as a depth gauge, to measure the
inside width of a dado, the thickness of a kerf...I'd be lost without
them.
I tried to upgrade to a dial version...then a digital..nope brought them
back... just my oldies-dead-nuts-to 1/128"



I have the 6" vernier I bought 20+ years ago. I use it quite a bit.
works for me.
