Another excellent video by Tony... It's interesting that Western Made tools now need reworking. That's one of the effects Chinese made tool has had. Everything comes down to cost. It wasn't always like this and older US manufactured Starrett tools are a great example. Since off shoring some of their manufacturing their standards have slipped a little.

Having said that would you bother reworking bore gauges? I'm not sure I would.

... But reworking cheap Chinese made tools can have mixed results at best.
The really good stuff from China is comparable in cost & quality to anything made in The West but they can be difficult to find... So why even consider them? I don't have anything Chinese/Taiwanese made. All of my measuring tools are either US, UK or Australian made and most of them I bought second hand.
