    Thinking out loud...... Thermodymics vs woodworking precision measurement tools?

    OK, I am sitting in my garage consuming an adult beverage and looking at a TSO MTR-18 Triangle. It's 89* don't know the humidity.

    My garage is heated, but not air conditioned.

    My question. How does change in outdoor temperatures affect the accuracy of these types of tools (i.e. Starret (sp), Woodpecker's, TSO, et al measuring devices)?

    I am also interested in reading the extent woodworkers go to achieve machine accuracy...

    Temperature affects metal. how do we protect our high dollar measuring instruments? OR should we just buy a good quality framing square, bone up on our high school trig?k

    Hoping for some fun and interesting commentary...
