For those needing to measure centerline thickness of slips:

I wanted to mention that Tim Britton sells Teclock Dial Calipers that are simply outstanding for this job, and seem to be tailor made for reed makers. The piston has a a wider rounded end that allows you to slide the slip from end, and w/o too much pressure from the spring loaded piston. It’s a precision instrument.

Contact me if you would like more info.

Cheap way…If U have digital caliber with reset option, just add small knob of glue, piece of brass, piece of round magnet etc ( 2-4 mm high, let it dry hard) on the other part of jaws(that part what moves).Put jaws then together ,reset the caliber zero position.When measuring cane slip thickness, put the “glued” jaw under, straigth on .
