Review on Starrett CH604R 12 Spring Tempered Graduations Thickness by Rodney Mendoza

Replaces the one I had (okay still have it but tarnished) from my machine shop in the year between high school and college. That's the rule for quality steel - and what can I say, that's Starrett. I know it's expensive, but this rule has a good place in my heart 47 years ago. I can order parts to make it a sliding end stop (this is fixed but can be flipped).
