Good accurate ball micrometer

Chuck Beach · 12-06-2012, 12:12 PM

I am looking for a good quality ball micrometer. I don't build a lot of engines so I don't need the top of the line, just looking for a good accurate inexpensive one to use on occasion. thanks

mscdirect.com has them from under $100

starrett sells a seprate ball attachment that can be used on any of their outside micromerters...

Look at the SPI brand. Very good quality at a decent price. I run a machine shop and have used quite a few of their products. I have one for measuring bearings and one for measuring rod bolts.
