This may be the case with smaller drums as well, hope that helps.

3B, I was hoping that you would drop by.

Edit: I just re-read what you wrote and now see that if I made it at 11 inches, and it is under sized, it will not fit. I'm wondering how the Professional Made Micrometers are set?

Maybe I could set up the Indicator to show both ways? Undersized or Over.
