Re: Digital Calipers

Yeah, digital calipers leave much to be desired. Using a good vernier caliper is a skill that will help you elsewhere in life. Plus they are more accurate (if not more precise) for a lot less money. My daily caliper is a mitutoyo dial caliper good to a thousandth, but I have a micrometer that direct-reads to a ten-thousandth and verniers to a hundredth. Only useful in a temperature-controlled environment, though.

That being said, you do know that the idea of CAD is to design the parts and make them work in software, then build them, right?
