Default Thread micrometers

I've used the three wire method more than I like. At work I can check out a thread mic
for my lathe efforts.

A couple days ago, I thought, with all the ot I'm working, why don't I get an imperial
thread mic. Then I saw the prices on those things. Damn.

Looks like I'm stuck looking for a deal on fleabay for now. You need the mic and the
anvils to be effective across a range.

I'm tempted to try the offshore stuff but I've been burned before and don't feel like
trying it again.

Comments/Advice welcome.

Wes
