I have a set of Micrometer standards that range from 1-12" long. All of them I have aquired used, appear in good shape, no rust, grind marks, deformation, they look great. I use them with my micrometers to measure pins, crankshafts, and anything else you could imagine that you use standards for. In all reality working in a thousandth is about all I really do, don't really worry about tenths, but it all adds up. I assume they are all "good", but I don't know, where does the community recommend I send them off to be checked/measured? I'd guess they are fine, but I work in expensive machinery, that could be detrimental if I measure a crankshaft, and cause an expensive catastrophic failure.
I'd feel much better if I know my standards are accurate.
What does this service cost, would I be better off to buy a "new" set of Mitutoyo standards off ebay 1-11" for around 200$
Thanks for any info!!!
I’ll also add they are all major name brand, Starrett, Mitutoyo, Brown and Sharpe, and maybe one NSK
