Case neck micrometer input needed...

What base?

I use a K&M mic set up in a Holland base.

Gentlemen,
I'm noticing a wee bit of a trend...

I GREATLY appreciate your input once again...

Regards, Matt.

With Sinclair you don't need a special ground spindle.
Simply adjust the ball anvil contact to the edge of your standard spindle.
You do need a stop to set the datum in measure (with any of them).

Genius! Thanks for posting that!
I was looking for a tapered spindle mic and came across your post. It works like a champ for short necks.
Thank you again!

I own and use #2 and #3. ZERO complaints with either. #3 with the mod is pretty nifty for sure.

Riflewoman ; you took me back about forty-five years with that one . Last time I saw one of those tools was visiting my Ex-Father-in-Law at the Ohio Steel Tube Works in Shelby , Ohio . Great tool . And very accurate . Operator required .

Measuring 38 Special brass trying to determine if there was a specific “Wadcutter” brass...

It's +/- 1thou, which is not accurate enough for necks, and it could be hard to replace the indicator with that length of spindle. Can't beat the price though, and the parts have great potential for a better tool in the making.
