"The longest-lived micrometer than can be bought." J.T. Slocomb micrometers and stand, all fully restored by myself. Each mic is between 70-120 years old, and they're all still accurate.Tawmcruize t1_j95t1i1 wrote

As a quality tech who calibrates micrometers often, if you have any that seem to not center very well ( you get a measurement but a little more force changes it by a tenth or so) you more than likely have a burr or foreign material on edge of the faces and a really smooth stone should be able to take it off, this is what I think I used for a v mic that had rust on the carbide faces and it checks gauge pins to tenths still.
