A Scherr-Tumico inside micrometer this time . Looks like one of the rods might be missing , hope it's not the one I need for the project on my bench . It should be here by Monday .
Another tool ...

Well, I was cleaning out my dad's old Rem-Line machinist box (he was never a machinist), and I found a Mitutoyo inside mic with all the rods for the set.
My dad was an electronic instrument tech in the air force (4 years) and a handyman the rest of his life... well and a hardware store owner and a grocery store owner.
I figured what the hell , I'm on a roll as far as tooling purchases . Snap gauges are all good and fine , but it gets confusing sometimes when mapping an out of round/belled cylinder . Translation : I'm gettin' lazy in my old age . This one looks like it would be pretty easy to fabricate a missing rod , and I have a couple of pieces of O1 drill rod the right size .
