Hi all,
Could anyone with calipers and a 354 slide tell me the OD on the outer slide tubes (in the main length, not the thicker-drawn sleeves at the top)?
By way of advance payment, please enjoy

Calipers may suffice for your purpose(s). Bore gages and a micrometer are more accurate.

For my porpoise, I will gratefully accept caliper or mic measurements

According to this image, an adult porpoise is roughly 1.4-1.9M...
Unfortunately, I don't have a good measurement for the YSL 354.

ps., I'll show myself out now.

But you didn't measure the girth (OD)
I think ithinknot's autocorrect misinterpreted "purpose"

I'm pretty sure the porpoise girth measurement is 1 girth unit.
However, I'm not sure about the conversion factors for either imperial or metric measurements.

(and I bet you're correct - but not autocorrect!)

You mean you were actually asking about a large marine mammal?
