>     I need to buy a digital micrometer that will read in gauges. 

    I'm not sure such an animal exist.  The standard for measuring sheet
    and wire is the Brown & Sharp Wire gauge.  Nothing electrical, or
    mechanical,  no moving parts, $20.00 or less. 

    There may be speciality measuring tools available but without a
    doubt, they will be very expensive, and most likely not suitable for
    the small shop.  It would be interesting to see what large metal
    companies, IE Hoover and Strong, Stullers, Rio Grande, and such use
    for measuring their sheet mill output.
