top tip... thanks

[@MM-ij7qw]

Yes! This is the kind of tip i was looking for. Its so obvious. Duh.This is going to save me so much time. I assume this works for tapped holes? What about socket head screws?

[@StuartdeHaro]

Yep. It's really good for the depths of internal keyways too. Zero on the bore and then measure the keyway.
