How to Measure over 100 inches on Sheet Metal and hold ± .060"
My company recently started a few new jobs where I have to measure over 100 inches on sheet metal and hold ± .060". We did have, don't laugh, a digital tape measure that confirmed consistenly our turret programs. As with all tape measures it was dropped and its measurments no longer repeat, and Mitutoyo stopped making this about 4 years ago.
My question is, "Is there a tool out there that will measure with these lengths and doesn't cost a fortune?" A bar mic is out of the question. Any ideas or experience with problem would be appreciated.
