Re: Optical Comparators - Can I calibrate Optical Comparators internally?
Two thoughts:
1) Calibration masters, reasonably cared for, won't significantly change. There is generally no need for calibration of masters beyond an initial certification.
2) If, for some reason, someone does want to calibrate masters, it's cheaper than having an outside service calibrate the comparator.

Sorry if I am beating a dead horse here... but what would you use to certify your angle (and radius) gages besides an optical comparator?
