Hi All,

Looking for Suggestions for Digital calipers, +-.0005 accuracy 8" maximum measurement. Any trusted brands or preferences on specs. $200 price range digital output a plus.

You'll be hard pressed to find ANY calipers capable of measuring +/- .0005" accurately. They may have that sort of resolution, but will never pass a GRR at that level. In the precision machining world I live in, calipers are not used on tolerances less than +/- .005". I'd suggest an indicator and gage blocks or a CMM.
