I really agree with Frank on this. I bought the $17-20 pair of Neiko 6" calipers on Amazon. You can get 6 of those
or one Mitutoyo. If they break from misuse or accidents, it's less costly to replace.
FRC isn't ISO 9001. Hobby mills and cheap calipers get the job done just fine.
I've had parents tell me I'm a great role model for their daughters, because I was a female leader. It's a great feeling to hear something like that. - Liz Smith [more]
