| Forum Moderator Supreme Forum King  |  Bob and Rick.... do not read this I know you guys don't measure ANYTHING so this thread is for everyone else  A while back I ordered one of these and have found it to be one of the best small investments I have made. http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...25&cat=1,43513 It is dead accurate and fantastic for repeatability. I have mine on a 12" metal ruler and have found it to be indispensible. It will spoil you fast. Give one a try if you measure things..... you won't be sorry

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | Thanks Bob and Harry I made them because I have a hard time marking the same spot on stock, the ruler has marks but the slide block mades it easy to mark the same spot over and over once it's set and locked in place. Bj

| Retired Moderator Supreme Forum King  | Thanks Mr. Noles, that is a neat little rule. I have looked at several of the Veritas items. they look like good products. I might have to add that to the wish list. Bob, that a neat one you made, but then we would expect that.... no sucky stuff coming out of the Johnson shop! Thanks for the pics. Good post Mr. Noles! Corey
