But since I'm not real familiar with manufacturers in this field, I thought I'd ask for feedback on the quality of mitutoyo parts if anyone has experience with them.

Thanks!
Mitutoyo is one of the most well known and quality brands in the measuring tool field. While I've only had experience with their calipers (my Mitutoyo dial calipers from the 1970s still work great), I would assume that their scales are good as well.
