I use the two punching measurement method, but hold the two punchings in =
a normally closed tweezers. But I like your gauge idea. I'm going to =
make one and try it.

Thanks!

    What methodology do you use to measure the gap between a key and the =

    punchings to each key, and set it back on the keyboard for the next =

  Terry, I'm not sure who I got the idea from but I just make a "feeler =
guage"=20
  by glueing paper punchings in a line starting with two .003's half way =

  overlapping each other and gluing that overlapped to two .005's and so =
on.  =20
  Then I glue a handle on the end.=20
  Works magnificiently, very fast and eliminates the guess work. This =
