or at least know the offset
also apparently gearbest does not even have the model anymore
Know good calibration weights?
MG scale stuff.
I heard yo mama is exactly 1 tonne @timsandtoms
@timsandtoms yeah true but you never expect the 20 dollar stuff have same accuracy on day after day testing as valid mitus or other model
Yeah
AvE did a vid on real Mitutoyos vs knockoffs
Drain on the fakes was nutty, and they drifted when low on battery, with no warning of when that was.
But otherwise worked nice.
I'm just working with cheapo Harbor Freight ones whenever I use them.
yeah my toy was mechanical so no draining problems on it
couldn't you just make your own battery indicator though tom?
but i guess everyone prefers digital*these days (and i dont blame them)
@Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck For that much time and effort I'd prefer just buying legit Mitutoyos
fair enough
Now Incra, that's what I want to see knockoffs of.
"silly guy you are supposed to use the sides..."
*loud bitchslap echoes around the hallways*
they're cute
and the inruler holes for the lead
so you can make sure your line does not sway
but aint incras cheap on ebay ?
Yup, every 1/64th of an inch, or 1/4 of a mm
>using inches in 2019
For woodworking in the US? Yeah, I'm not gonna make tooling that much of a pain.
@Tervy Not really. About Amazon prices. All the Incra stuff is reasonable, but it could be cheap.
$25-$50 or so for most of the stuff like that.
so worth it if you need it
Yeah
but not "this specialty bullshit costs 100euros per millimeter
Totally a justifiable thing, not like Mitutoyo over Chinese shit. Especially being that there isn't an alternative.
just like you never though you want template rulers
The protractor was around $26
but god damn they are handy if you ever hand plan anything on paper
same with slide/logarithmic rulers
Oh, but yeah, you know any good calibration weights? Bought a real cheap set on Ali, but it's terrible. My scale only goes up to 20g, and I'm pretty sure some of the manufacturing blemishes are a good couple tenths of a gram.
weights
didnt ali have those stainless steel weights in their laboratory part ?
