How about a Braille Micrometer? I know it's more for metalworking, but thought it unusual enough that ya'll might find it interesting. Friend saw it at a tool sale and got it for me as he knows my interest in unusual tools.

I've seen & used almost every type of micrometer, I've never seen a braille one.
Thanks for posting it.

Great post Jim. I just showed this to my wife who has worked around machine shops and custom manufacturing job shops all her life. We both thought it was really neat.

Ages ago I came across an article discussing a blind machinist who had actually worked up a number of CNC programs which allowed him to do pretty much any sort of machining which he might need --- at the time he was looking for someone to donate the code to to maintain it --- at least one person on a forum I posted it to expressed interest --- sure hope it's being used / carried on.

Wow that is amazing. Hard to believe there has been blind machinists.
