So I needed some stuff from Shars so I threw a 24" caliper in my cart. Ironically on ebay shipping costs for the caliper are 17 bucks. My order from shars with the caliper was 15 bucks.
One of my friends, a toolmaker, claims he did an assembly over 24 feet using only an accurate tape measure and a jewelers loop, holding to .003 tolerance all along the way... I know he holds incredible accuracy on his machines, so it lends some credibility to his claim. It was cheap enough to get an accurate vernier that was 24" long.
