However, it is too large to handle the small import piston/rod assemblies I sometimes see. It won’t fit inside the cavity to support the piston. Do you have another setup for these cases?

What can I expect as far as performance from this machine, and do you offer mandrels for it. Also, could it be used to resize connecting rods?

I’ve been looking at the mitutoyo 511 gages and have found one on sale im my area for a little under 400 bucks. Good deal? or should I hold off and buy a really nice one?

(at the mod point of the cylinder) The block I am working with is already .060 and the option of finding another block is slim. I would contemplate sleeving the block but that would require 4 sleeves
