Oh, I originally wrote "1000cm" by mistake, and after Brian pointed it out, I edited the original post.

I really like the Matsui column gage. It's a joy to use and precisely adjustable. I'm going to ask them if they could make one with decimal inch markings, as I work at least half the time in inch scale and it is tedious to calculate back and forth from metric all the time. Great tool regardless.

Chris, please relay my interest as well, for the decimal inch Matsui column gage. Maybe it'd be easier to have one produced if they have multiple people interested?

I emailed Mandara-ya and asked about it today. Will let you know what they say.

I'm not sure I would use that term in this case. I was actually surprised they wouldn't do it. Maybe it's one of those things where the low quantity simply made it not worth their while. I can understand that.
