Hi. Thanks for the additional information. From everyone's help, it
looks
like I may need to check on eBay for a used micrometer. I don't use
one
often nough to justify the cost of a new, high quality, name brand
model.

You might also keep Lufkin in mind. They aren't made any longer, but
have
a
pretty good reputation and most folks seem to have forgotten that they
existed. That can mean lower prices on Ebay, compared to Starrett and
B&S.
A few years back I picked up a nice set of 0-6" micrometers in a wood
case
for $100 and they've all checked out good.

Hi. Thanks for the name. I will keep them in mind. From what I am
seeing,
6 for $100 is a great price!

Well, the seller wasn't too happy as he paid $150 for it at an estate sale.
The case was beat up a bit and that probably had a bearing on the final
price.

One never knows with used tools though - one of the mics could be bent or
spung a bit - so you have to take that risk into account.
