Hi,
Today my analog caliper dial was out of alignment without my knowlegde.
It was not zeroed. So It thought the stock was thicker than it actually was. I almost ruined a fine piece of curly maple when I tried to sand it down with my drum sander. I'd like to avoid this in the future so I'm looking for a new caliper. Do you think that the digital (http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?O...735&TabSelect=) or the analogue (http://www.woodworkersshop.com/Woodworking_Calipers.htm) is better. Are digital calipers cabable of abuse ie dropping on a concrete basement floor?
Thanks for your advise
