digital caliper "skipping"?

1WildRT said

I have a $300 set of Mitutoyo calipers... Never use them... Afraid I'll damage them... I have three General brand sets of calipers... Little more $$$ than the really cheap variety but they actually feel pretty good, fairly smooth action..... They even have a fractions mode...

If I'm serious about accuracy I have a full set of Starret Micrometers from 0-8"

Correct. I use my Calipers almost daily at work but I know the limitations of accuracy. They are a set of Quinn from HF and are fine for my needs. I have really nice Fowler's and such at home but I don't see much difference honestly....

And yes, if I want to really measure something the Micrometers come out but I really don't do that in my daily task.....
