Re: Extremely bad experience with Kath...

How did he check it? Problem with checking it with a caliper is that it is easy to manipulate it to look correct and easier to be wrong. Dimensionally, a caliper is just the wrong tool to be using and honestly, they vary enough from caliper to caliper to not trust them. My caliper measures exact from the end if I am very careful with it, but one of my mechanics has a new one that reads about .008 different in the same situation, his is wrong and won't be used here, but it is a good example of how far they can be off even if you are holding them correctly. Never trust a caliper for any depth test that you want to be precision. My surface plate and height gauge should be here today, if you need one double checked ever, bring it by.
