All,
We've had discussions on the value of measuring tools, i.e. dial indicators,
micrometers and calipers.  Bob in one of his sermons talks about an
"apprentice kit" from tool manufacturers and had recommended Enco to me.

I got their latest sales catalog in the mail and they have the following:

Enco 3-Pc. Tool kit - 0-1" micrometer, 6" dial caliper, 6" flex ruler; model
number 600-0000.  All three pieces $25.99

Enco 26-Pc Magnetic Base & Indicator Kit - magnetic base holder, 1" travel
indicator (0.001" graduations, reads 0-100 with revolution counter),
22-piece test indicator point set, universal dovetail clamp for test
indicators, 3-diameter rod (5/16, 7/32, 3/8).  Model 625-0309.  Cost $24.99

Don't personally know much about this stuff, but I'm learning.  I ordered
both sets.  I have no connection with Enco other than being a customer.
Usual disclaimers.  But I thought someone else might be in the market, like me.

Enco phone - 800-873-3626.  They also have lots of other tools.
