Marking a Micrmeter for Quick Reference and Repeatability

When I’m boring a block, I draw a little line on the micrometer with a felt tip, once it’s set. This way I can see at a glance that I haven’t inadvertently loosened the lock screw and/or changed the setting. You don’t really have to focus in on the setting each time, as this gives a pretty high visibility point-of-reference.
