Best Arm for Raven One?
Hi Tom,The Phantom is a match made in Heaven for this table and just lovely to work with as fine adjustments go.Also once the Phantom is set up it stays that way until you make changes.The Raven and Phantom are pretty good, both solid and consista...

Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
