I need a ring gage that has a magnetic base to calibrate the Renishaw probes on our milling machines. Any ideas on where to pick one of these up?

Bummer. Seems they can be had for not terribly much more than that 500$ ring posted above. And they sure can be handy.

We have a 1.8375 "ring" that is actually a hole ground into a hardened 4x6" appx block that we can throw in a vise or toe clamp to the table. Doesn't have to be magnetic eh...
 
Take a block of alu, set its center to zero, mill a round pocket or hole to it, I use 100mm, mic the hole that its round. Use that to calibrate.
