I scored a mitutoyo dual caliper, micrometer, and bore gauges. I also got a fowler indicator, stand, and surface plate. Managed to get everything for $50. bunny-vibe

Also pictured is the poolish I have fermenting for bread I'm going to make tomorrow.

Nice find! I like the analog gauge on the calipers

Same. I have a cheap set of digital calipers, but I couldn't pass up a nice one for cheap.

Right! They didn't even know what the surface plate was. They had it over in the cooking and household stuff because they thought it was a cutting board hahaha

Thanks! I was super happy when they said $50 for it all. Nothing had a price on it, and they had no idea what it was all worth.
