On this, hope it's ok.

Is that a sine bar? Hope you won!

 

[wheeltapper]

I take it you won, there was only one bid.
you did all right for £15.

hope it's not damaged at all.

I only had a maximum bid £1 more than the start price but I got it for £14.99 as no one else bid on it. It's a good make, just hope it's in fair condition. If not, it'll make an interesting door stop! ;D

The measurements seem oddly inch-based for a metric bar (width, etc). Is that typical?

Not that inch/vs/mm is a big deal in sine bars.

I never thought about it before, but I assume that there are metric gauge blocks for setting.

Yeah there are but you can use imperial as well. I'll probably use adjustable parallels until a good set of gauge blocks comes up cheap. Next up is a cheap calculator with a SIN (Sine) function for setting.
