I've never used a bore gage (dial bore gage, whatever). I've only used
inside mics (of the tubular variety) and telescopic gages. Are bore gages
sufficiently snazzy to make them worth the relatively upper-crusty price
tag? A set of intramics is absolutely out of the question. 8-)

If you need the accuracy, they are great. We've got at least 30 Mohr
gage kits here at work. Our kits can cover everything from .128" all
the way up to .500". Kits consist of a digital head, various extension
pins and the necessary ball ends and check rings. Takes about 30
seconds to set one up. When you have to do hole diameter checks on
500-600 holes in a single installation, it makes for fast inspection.
Don't know what the kits cost, but I believe that you can start with
just the head and one size set up.
