Hi niki
You rang one more bell in my head when you said
"Make the thumb screw, not less that 1/8" dia otherwise the screw is breaking very easily....don't ask me how I know...."
I'm always trying to reinvent the wheel but many have done that for me
Not to many new items under the sun...
I'm not sure why it didn't ring a bell sooner I cut up one about 3 weeks ago to be used on my table saw,,,see snapshot below ▼
I use it to double check the cut b/4 I make it.
(from the inside of the blade to the fence....)
Someone along time ago had the same error with the screw breaking off in a device to hold a horz.bar to a ruler, so he put a slot down the center of the ruler and used a 1/4" bolt with a hook on it to hold the device inplace.
In that way it would not break off easy....and would not destroy the ruler.

Those in the pics are made of Brass and together with the ruler I paid $10 for the 12" ruler, $15 for the 24" and $20 for the 39" (1 Meter) but when I bought them separately, I paid $10 a piece,
