| 1826 forum posts 1 photos | Maybe a bit late to the thread but Ceramicists use similar items. Not with same size at both ends. Link to one of the many suppliers here. Edited By V8Eng on 17/02/2023 21:40:45 |

 7881 forum posts 397 photos | And if you do a google search for "Digital outside calipers" you will find this interesting mix of new and old tooling. Internal version is also available. Looks very handy for measuring oddly shaped things. And not very expensive at circa 30 Quid. I have seen the figure 8 type referred to in an American cylinder head porting book as "indicating calipers" but a google search shows nothing under that except normal digital calipers and the above.

 1009 forum posts 305 photos | THESE are used by woodturners they are not double ended as your picture and yes they are expensive but they do have a metric scale to read off. I have a set for when I am turning hollow forms |
