Finally made it into the stock room and had a look at the Starrett stuff that we have that is waiting for the apprentices to break....
The new Starrett dial calipers and vernier calipers were both made in china as were the metric 0-25 mm micrometers.
All the inch micrometers from 0-1 up to 3-4" were still made in the USA.
Not measuring to the millionth, but we do take it to the ten thousandth of an inch.
Because most of our equipment is manufactured in the States, we still measure in the imperial system.
