I'm an inveterate tool collector, I must have the correct tool for the job and if I don't have it I'll source it. Frustrated with the limitations of the traditional vernier micrometer I've now purchased a JKA Feintaster bench micrometer, these are designed to measure extremely accurately to 100th of a millimeter, invaluable for determining pivot lengths especially from shoulder to shoulder, wheel teeth width etc. The design of these has changed now and they also no longer come in a velvet lined cabinet (the micrometer is fixed inside the cabinet and designed to be used in place) just a plain wooden one. Like most engineering instruments of this period it has a beautiful action.
