Wait, aren't we all working to 2 microns?

Just for stuff where accuracy doesn't matter 😛

"Maybe beyond my skill set and needs"​

I bought one of these years ago. Obviously beyond my skills and need but "the wallet wants what the wallet want". They were going for around $700 US at the tine but I got a real deal $278 CDN NEW. The cheap Chinese knock offs cost more than that and were generally crap. Accurate to 0.0005" with the supplied probe and 0.0002" with a different probe. I don't regret it and the wife still doesn't know about it so I'm good.

How does a different probe make it more accurate?

What's a micron? If you want me to make a mess of something, just ask me to use metric measurement. Brain does not like it, makes no sense. At 70 I think I am in for the rest of my life using Imperial measurement. Sorry, just no way to change, tried, failed and failed again. Material is expensive just cannot afford it.
