So I bought 2 brand new SPI .0001 DTI last week. Opened both tonight while indicating some bar stock for head alignment and one of them is completely garbage and the other could be used to hold prints from flying away. SPI use to make decent stuff but I noticed the box said made in China. Real bummer.
That brings me here to ask for advise on a good .0001 DTI that will not leave me crying at the bill. I need 2 of them. I'm leaning towards Mitutoyo but would entertain other quality brands. I know about Browne and Sharp, Interapid, and Starret but most I've seen are just out of my budget right now as I just bought a new machine and a ton of new tooling and still have DROs to go for mill and lathe.
Thanks in advance.
