• 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.

Shahe Digital ID Calipers

Confession: I'm a measurement tool junky. So I threw the dice on these calipers purchased through AliExpress. I've had them for about a month now & actually find myself grabbing them quite often. So far so good. Not as accurate as snap gages or ID/bore gages but very quick to use for the progression boring until you get to the critical ID & break out the expensive stuff. The repeatability & accuracy is actually pretty good (as digi-cals go). These jaws are more intended for this kind of work & I find them a bit better suited vs. verniers (which are also limited to measuring shallow depth).

Never heard of Shahe brand before, but kind of reminds me of Asimeto... maybe even a bit nicer. Battery not included, its an SR44. Only 3 digits (0.001") not half-thou (0.xxxx5"). Unlike verniers which zero with jaws closed, on these you 'zero' to known ID, say a 1.000" ID standard. Then anything you measure is additive to that datum.
