Well, maybe Will or Pete will chime in.

IMO, and what I have is:

A good set of micrometers (check Craig's list).

A dial bore gauge (kinda of optional but I check any machine work that I have done.) You can get a Fowler (made in England) for about $200.

You probably have the rest of the stuff.

I normally keep quiet because you guys are usually way ahead of me on most things. But I cannot keep quiet regarding Fowler measuring tools. In 25 years of machine trade experience, I've never used a reliable piece of equipment from Fowler. Every time they let me down. Get on CraigsList or Ebay and find one by Mitutoyo, Brown&Sharp, Starret, Etc... I wouldn't trust Fowler rulers to repeat.
Say what you want, but that's my .02.
