Those Fox bodies have certainly reached the re cool zone.

I owned this one for a few months, it was definitely fun and got lots of thumbs up!  5.0 with a 5 speed.

Those Fox bodies have certainly reached the re cool zone.

Tools from the following countries I don't trust to be high quality and accurate. (I could be wrong, but don't know) Russia, Poland, Ukraine, and of course China.

You nailed that. I have a Fowler set of micrometer from 0"-6" that I purchased about 40 years ago. Fowler was once a great precision tool maker made in the USA. Today they source worldwide, mostly China. And have unreliable quality. This set was clearly made in Japan, and are the finest quality.





I salvage this set from the fire. And purchased a NOS Starrett wood case to store them. With a ton of work I was able to return these to service. Just a quick note. Any tool that was stored in a wooden box and most everything in my Gerstner wood chest was saved... Item in steel cabinets and tool boxes had to be trashed..


These 0" to 12" Mitutoyo micrometer I purchase 50 years ago and all are clearly made in Japan.. GOOD Stuff




I purchased this one inch Lufkiin micrometer when I was fourteen years old. One of the first precision tools in my collection. I still have the original box it came in..


A set of 1" to 3" Mitutoyo, 1/2" Starrett, and several other older mics...

Nice job on bringing it over the line for the win. Its always a great feeling once the pain is over. 

There have been many lesser known quality precision tools made over the years. Micro-Masters being one of them. And I'm sure that indicator served its' owner well. Great find..

Here's two of my older indicators. The Lufkin 199 was my father's that dated back to the early 1900's. In the forties and fifties Starrett Last Word dial indicator was the one that became the mainstay of machinists. I always felt the Last Word's draw back was the need to flip a small lever to change the direction of the reading..
