Hello all.
I'm looking to buy some basic machinists tooling.
Some stuff I'd like to put into my stash:

A good bore gauge
A good set of micrometers
A good magnetic base dial indicator setup
Possibly a depth micrometer ( maybe I'm calling it the wrong name ) to measure how far a piston is down the bore.
Good caliper.

Just would like to be able to accurately quantify stuff even though one of my best buds is a machinist and puts all my junk together.

Is starret the industry standard for quality tools?
Is ebay my best bet?
Can you guys post up some part numbers of the stuff you prefer?

Thanks guys,
Rob
