Bell" Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Digital caliper purchase or repair To: [email protected] The easiest way to get new digital calipers is to drive down to Home Depot and pick up a pair for $30 or $40. Mine work fine and are accurate. If they break, they will be cheap to replace. I don't think they interface with the commputer, so we use other calipers for that. But if you just need to make measurements, the ones from Home Depot (probably other large hardware stores, like Lowes) are cheap, convenient to get, and do the job. -- Mike Bell > > ----- Forwarded message from "Novack-Gottshall, Philip M." > ----- > > Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 10:59:40 -0500 > From: "Novack-Gottshall, Philip M." > > Reply-To: "Novack-Gottshall, Philip M." > > Subject: Re: Digital caliper purchase or repair > To: "[email protected]" > > Fowler makes well-made digital calipers.
