    Thanks. I'm a little anal about that. Whenever I get something new I grab some beers and re-arrange. That's why I got a label maker, to remember the re-arrangement after the beers are gone.

    This song is great: I loved the guitar work and they didn't skimp on lyrics either. Everything I've read about @ColoradoTJ supports that he does it right, but with a MacGyver minimalism. My grandpa was just like this though... a LOT of baling wire!

    This is a nice little compressor. It's portable and excellent for light duty work. It's oil lubricated so it's pretty quiet. No problem talking on the phone when it kicks on. It's not big enough to run impact guns, not a big deal because I have battery powered guns..

    Easy.....with Transfer Standards. Calipers are calibrated with +/- .000002" ceramic gage block set for example.[​IMG] , like this.. [​IMG] We can calibrate the ceramic gage block set with this [​IMG]

    /
    Your Neiko is +/- .001". The stated spec for your "precision" block is .0001 to .0003" which is quite wide but not bad. Our lab Standard precision test blocks can cost close to $1000 a piece and about the same cost to get them calibrated. Unless your P block came with cal data your Neiko may be actually in spec. It all comes down to the accuracy +uncertainty of the caliper and the data/uncertainty of the P block. I know it's very anal but it's what I do.
