So now that I have a non-scratched surface plate, I'm looking for a height gauge for it.
Missed out on a Mitutoyo 12" digital surface plate height gauge on Kijiji yesterday for $200 (!). ;(
Looking for suggestions on a 'decent' height gauge/stand. Budget is $100-200 unless this is one of those "dont go cheap" items in your collective minds. Many of the gauges I see forsale look like cheap slide calipers bolted to a cast base. I'm concerned about being able to attain and repeat 'B Grade' (same as my surface plate) accuracy with these - they look flimsy.
Just to be sure I have my terminology right, this is along the lines of what I am looking for:
