I found a local distributor of Timken bearings and bought the
items I needed for my Asian 3-in-1 rebuild.
So now I'm on to measurement tools. I'm looking for a caliper,
a 1 inch micrometer and a dial indicator. There are huge price
differences and I [again] have no idea what brand names would
be the most reasonable in terms of a long term tool investment.
I'm sure that "you get what you pay for", but there is also the
"as a home user, quality above X level is not a wise investment"
which I would also like to apply.
Some of the names in the catalogs and on the internet are:
Enco
Fowler
brown & sharpe
Mitutoyo
Interapid
Starrett
Suggestions and experiences for both brand names and vendors
would appreciated.
As usual, thanks in advance for helping me spend money,
Arvid
