Thread: How Do You Measure Your Holes?

Do all the Hondas and Toyotas of this world use Bowers Bore gauges? Perhaps they should be told.

 

They  would use CNC Mitutoyo Coordinate Measuring machines.

I would assume most of the smart Alecs on this forum have one in their workshops!

Use a Starret hole saw run slowly and keep clearing the swarf.
