Back in the VERY distant past, I used of those a couple of times to verify that the machinist who made the parts I needed correctly. Today my digital calipers are quite sufficient in my home shop. Neat devices. Congrats!

I bought an old Delta/Rockwell 6" Belt Sander.There was a "Chico Unified School District" sticker on it. I bought it at an auction along with the band saw. I am selling the saw but I am keeping this belt sander.
The first time I plugged it in the breaker kicked. I replaced the upper drum bearings with quality McMaster Carr, It runs great now. Cleans up edges cut on the band saw very nice. Fast too. I love it.
