You're asking the hard technical questions. My engineer friend say that when 
his friends get picky with details the comment is "hey your not building a 
piano ya know" I take that as a compliment. In this case we are but fortunately 
board thinning isn't a mystery. It however helps to have an organized approach 
to thinning. If you ask 5 belly guys how they do it you'll get five different 
answers.



Dale,
and I do hope you took my comment as the compliment it was intended. I am 
almost overwhelmed by the degree of detail people on the list have to offer. 
Since the last post I have acquired a depth mike and I intend to cut one of the 
spindles down to almost nothing to see if this will penetrate the board without 
scarring. I much prefer to work to .005 plus or minus, as long as it doesn't 
cost a ton of time. In the tool trade the common wisdom holds working to the 
next decimal over takes ten times the effort, and you learn to pick your battles.

  Of course. Thank you & applaud your inquiring mind.
 I use a cheap & simple plastic caliper with a round wire coming out of one 
end. Only a small hole is required to put it thru. Of course a finger or some 
other object must be applied flush to the other side so the wire stops and a 
good reading is taken.
