I'm building something larger than I have the means to measure. It's an 18" rotating head (oilfield thingy) and both the ID and OD of the two separate parts have to be turned to fairly tight tolerances due to a huge tapered roller bearing that gets slip fit in between the two.
Anyhow, I'm honestly not sure how I'm going to accurately measure the two parts without purchasing a large set of internal mics, which I feel would be an excessive cost for a 'one-off' product. My original intention was to get the bearing first, rough out each piece, and then sneak up on a fit. It looks now like the bearing will be the last thing to be delivered.
18" caliper maybe?
