Tool needs ? Is there anyone on here that needs tools ? Mics , verniers etc

What's the story on all those hardcore QCTP paperweights in picture IMG_8591.JPG ?
 
I spy my trav-a-dial. Looks like it is complete with its mounting bracket. :chunky:
Maybe there’s even an angle bracket in there somewhere?
 
I have many paper weights in the machine shop style ! CXA's and up . My bigs are gone so they sit . I dug the travel dial out also .
 
Like most hobby machinists I stress the home shop budget to the ragged edge..but I’m liking the idea of trav-a-dials on the mill table.
 
Travel dial mount bracket like this one ? ;) This just walked in from the garage !

Travel dials don't glitch . Easy to watch and they aren't electric . You have a readout error that cost you a thou or so and you start your job over .
 
Ah gotcha. Are they hard to come by these days?

Yes. Do a search on the 'Bay. They bring in $$$$
I remember back when @ my first mfg job, we had around a dozen of them in the cage in the tool room.
I did tool control on the high end stuff and had to inventory them every month.
 
Price for the green Mititoyo 0-3 mics?
