I think someone mentioned that ya can get battery holder's with a
switch , some double sided tape to hold the battery holder on the
tailstock . Or ya can add yer own switch to one .
I'm sure there's a couple kazillion of them on the big A also .

I just
bought a Shars 6" dial caliper after admiring one belonging
to a friend.? It's probably the best and most durable dial
caliper I've ever had.? But I also have a Chinese dial
caliper that's cheap and less solid-feeling than the Shars.?
So would it be practical to turn this cheapo dial caliper
into the equivalent of a DRO to measure tailstock
extension?? This would have disadvantages compared with
using a digital caliper for this, because you can't change
from metric to Imperial and you couldn't hit a button to
zero it.? But a major advantage is that the batteries would
never die.? Has anybody tried this?
