There was a thread about this several months ago, but I was wondering a there was a new product released since then that I wasn't aware of.
I would like to use an electronic caliper, but I don't like the way they are constantly changing the precision/denominator in the display. For example, as it gets smaller it goes from 1/4 to 31/128 to 15/64 to 29/128 to 7/32, etc. Needless to say, it gets pretty tedious to do the rounding from 1/128ths back to 1/16ths, which is as close as I usually care to make it.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that allowed you to set the precision (e.g. 1/16th of an inch) so the denominator wouldn't display finer denominators.
Of course, I can always stick with my old dial calipers... :)
Thanks,
Roger
