Title: Beautiful simplicity
Review: Some things are beautiful in their simplicity if well made. These calipers fit that description. Something this simple is easy to make cheaper and worse. Fortunately, Starrett doesn't succomb to that temptation. I bought a pair of these about six weeks ago for use with my wood lathe. Not only do they work well, they are a pleasure to use. The tips are ground and polished round. That means little risk of marring the work. They hold a setting firmly and yet are fast and easy to adjust. So these are easy to praise, as are all of my Starrett tools. When I've decided to pay the price for Starrett's quality I've never been disappointed. And that applies to more than a dozen of their products I now own.
