Just get a regular old vernier caliper and learn to read it? (Magnifying

As soon as I find one that reads to 0.001".

*Good* ones do. However, if all you've ever seen are the
stamped sheet steel ones sold by General, I can understand your problem.

But yes -- the magnifying glass does come in with older eyes.

Enjoy,

All of my vernier calipers read to 0.001" and some of them aren't what I'd
call "Good". Magnifying glass is optional if your eyes come with built-in 5
dioptre magnification, it's one of the few benefits of short sightedness :-)
