If you have use for digital pressure gauges or any number of other items that you’re not going to find in your neighborhood store, where do you go to find them? Given today’s digital age, more and more consumers are discovering that the online buying experience is oftentimes their best call of recourse.

While the core mechanics of a coordinate measuring machine have changed very little, metrology as a field…
