Hello,
I have an opportunity to buy a 18" Brown & Sharpie height gauge for $200. Could anyone please suggest if I should go for it?
I'm a hobbyist and occasionally I take measurements on a surface plate. I have a Noga-style indicator holder and a vintage, non magnetic indicator stand.
Recently, I tried to measure a spindle shaft with a 0.0001" indicator and I think both of my indicator stands moved a lot - I couldn't get repeatable measurements.
Would the height gauge be a good purchase? Is there any use for it given that I'm a hobbyist? Is the price reasonable?
Thanks!
