• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Bought some lots of gear recently, there’s some extras Id like to move. 100% if it doesn’t work/aren’t happy full refund on the selling price. Willing to ship on buyers dime.
Mastercraft calipers, $20?
Lyman caliper, $50?
Mitutoyo caliper, $100?

I’ve done zero research on new prices, quality or repeatability, I’d rather move this to anyone that will actually use them . Located near Waterloo ON for local pickup

I don't know how many calipers you already have, but reloading benefits from multiple calipers dedicated to certain jobs. I keep a Hornady Overall Length Gauge adapter screwed to one of mine, and a Sinclair Adapter screwed to another.

You might consider keeping the Mitutoyo for that job yourself. But I'd sell the other two if I were you.

I have a digital caliper, why would I want to go backwards and start using outdated technology? :p

(totally kidding but it should be worth the reaction)
 
Hey Chicken bring that mastercraft set with you when you next head west if it doesnt sell I could use it, I am like Susq., I usually have a bunch located around the places i might need on but am down to only one working set now.

As Susq. says above, Digital or Dial, you can have problems with both.
Make sure you have an accurate reference to qualify your metrology device.
Even linear transducers can shift in a housing !!

Hahahaha Good One! You almost got me! My eyes are not that good anymore so I almost missed the fine print! Then I laughed out loud.

If you decide you really don't like that outdated technology, I'll happily adopt the Mitutoyo and maybe even give it back to you when your new digital technology has a spoiled hissy fit and lies to you..... ;)
