Your thoughts on upgrading Feickert protractor

We're not talking microns here (1000 microns = 1 MM)

@wlutke ,

I'm actually enjoying my VPI now that I found and fixed most of the manufacturing defects.

Peace

@wlutke,

Not my experience brother.

Not what is written either.

Funny how at first you seemed to be questioning your own set-up, now you’re questioning mine.

If you knew, why ask? I’m out.

I recognized your moniker from the VPI forums..... so I felt like I was being set up. Just wanted to see how far you’d go?

You should try a MyMat. Then maybe you'd spend more time listening.

My way is get the stylus centered on the cross hairs in step one.
In step two is where I align the cantilever with the grid
Step 3 is somewhat overkill and unnecessary if steps 1 & 2 are spot on.

I find that if using step 3 as part of the main alignment procedure, is not a good thing. If you pay close attention, if steps 1 & 2 are spot on, moving to step 3, the cantilever will be slightly off. This is due to the nature of a pivoted arm. Not a major issue.

@wlutke ,

I don't have to move the platter to align the cantilever at step 2.

Correct!

The Universal.

Based upon your post, you're not understanding my post.
