If you are looking for a deal on a vernier caliper, this one isn't too bad:

Quoted: Where exactly are you supposed to read it at? I think I'll stick with a dial You start where the lower 0 is. You now find the lower line which matches up as close to the upper line. In this case .038 (or .037) Since your lower zero line is between the 7.850" and 7.900" you add .038" to 7.850 and get 7.888" |
