Cool. I never heard of such a thing.

Here is a link to the manufacturer: http://www.defelsko.com/utg/positectorutg.htm

Here is a link to someone who sells them - $975: http://www.amazon.com/DeFelsko-PosiTector-Ultrasonic-Thickness-Gauge/dp/B0052G3NHO



I am glad to be here.

Pete, thanks, that just about says it all. If a couple of friends that lived close by chipped in this gage is the way to go.
