What C-Bag said. The Starrett Master Vernier height gages are available new at Amazon for about $2,000. On eBay, they can be had in excellent condition for about $100. The action on them is incredibly smooth. The bar is about 14" of hardened, ground, and highly polished tool steel. Note that it's a 12" capacity since the extra length is needed for the vernier.
