Re: Vintage tools
It's been something of a learning curve for me with the digitals... It's been the same on some of the older mechanical tools for me too. The inside mics in particular have given me fits. I'm kinda getting there though. Moving from my woodworking to the metal side of the equation has been hard... It's the same in the other direction though... The other designer/machinist at work has been building a small house. He's about lost his mind several times trying to hit 3 digit accuracy with framing lumber, and simply doesn't understand that it doesn't matter since it's going to expand and contract with moisture...
