I got one that I tested and it's accurate. I measured the thickness of feeler gauges.
The biggest problem in those setups is the stand, not the dial. The stand can move and flex much more than the dial precision. An other issue is the angle you measure at. If the dial is not perfectly vertical then you get a wrong reading. |
