Hey guys. Was wondering if anyone knew where to get a stand that will hold the micrometer while trying to use it? I have looked through Midway and can't find anything. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! -Dan

P.S. I think it is a RCBS, but i will check when i get a chance.

Danny, Midway does have one it's made by Holland. Here's a link.

Danny--I have owned a couple of tubing mics for measuring neck wall thickness and a few other reloading items for a long time. The mic in the photos is my Mitutoyo mic. I was coveting a mic stand and looked at the various models offered by many different providers. I didn't like many of the holders mainly because they were pretty pricey for an old retired guy like me

I finally wound up buying a Pony clamp that has nylon/rubber? sleeves over the jaws and rigged up an old piece of metal I had lying around cobbled the two of them together and use a wood screw to mount that on my bench whenever I need a micrometer stand. Here are a few photos of what I use. It is definitely an economical mic stand and it works GREAT, even if I do have to say so myself



You can see the way my mic holder is fastened to the bench in the photo below:



Here's a close-up photo of my fancy device I use to hold the Pony clamp to the bench:



Hey!!! Quit laughing--the doggone thing works just fine!!!

WOW Silverfox, you should patent that.

Anybody who wondered what happened to MacGyver now knows he retired and moved to North Dakota.

Now this is why I like this forum. I have picked up alot of great time & money saving tips. Very good idea Silverfox, thank you
