Pretty dam accurate, measure a few small things and it was dead on.

 

I think thoes are only claimed accurate to half a thou.

I measured a peice of round stock with 3 of thoes things and it gave me different readings each time.

I bucked up and bought Mitutoyo calipers. Tenth graduation.

i got me the same one .. very nice and cheap ..
who the hell needs things to the .0001? lol
this thing will do

 

it seems accurate... but, did you have it tested? do you have 'certificate'? it was cheap indeed. when buying quality, buy Mitutoyo.

So a certificate makes it accurate ? I know for a micrometer it comes with a tube ( pipe ) so you can calibrate it. Anyone know where to pic something like that up ?
