New Yard Sale finds
« on: August 28, 2012, 06:09:54 PM »
A yard sale that I went to this morning produced a couple of tools I did not have,  a pair of Metric Micrometers.  I did not even know there were such things, but then there a lot of things I don't know.  The surprising thing is they are made in the USA.

I would rather have tools I never use, than to need a tool I don't have.

Meyer?   Not seen that nameplate before, but am automotive oriented not machine shop.   They are actually dial indicators for testing run-out, out of round, etc.   Darn handy tool to have, did you get the mounts, base, and clamps?

John, I said Micrometers by mistake,  I knew they were dial indicators, just one of my old age brain fa rts.  I have all kinds of holders and mounts, I just didn't have any thing in metrics.  In fact here is a indicator mount for my milling machine that I made myself.
I was playing with a light box for photographing  small items and took some photos of some tools.
