Hi there,

       If you look around you can buy just the barrel and plunger - there is 
no need to cut up a micrometer. Many micrometers just screw together anyway.
       It is not really very difficult to make a conical hole in the centre 
of a bolt with a centre drill and stick in a ball bearing.

       Regards,

Angel,

Got to thinking about your leveling screws. For precision, why not use

nmicrometers. I checked on ebay and you can get some pretty good looking

units for just a few bucks. Cut off the "C", epoxy on a ball-bearing and

you're all set. Search for << micrometer -lcd -caliper >>
