[pianotech] Downbearing

[Greg Newell]

Those considering the purchase of a Wixey gauge should check out (and buy) from the inventor himself. He designed and built the “Tilt Box” until the idea was STOLEN from him and offered as the “Wixey gauge”. Check it out. http://www.bealltool.com/products/measuring/tiltbox.php

Noah,

Instead of the Lowell gauge, I'm using a Wixey digital gauge to read the downbearing angles directly, without
translating from the lowell's bubble readings or dial indicator readings.

Any woodworking mail order carries them.

The "foot" is dead simple to make, right out of the scrap bin.
