List,
I'm having some difficulties achieving consistent downbearing=20
measurements. I'm struggling with the Lowell gauge and each time I move it=20
and then attempt a repeat I start with a completely different reading that=20
I zeroed in before. The little "V"'s in the bottom of the feet don't seem=20
to sit very well upon the string in any segment. I think it's because the=20
tool isn't heavy enough so it rocks too easily. Are there any better tools=20
available and if not has anyone modified theirs to give less trouble? I'd=20
like to modify the Lowell gauge to use rare earth magnets as it's feet if=20
there's nothing else available. Any idea's on how to accomplish that?

I find a light touch gives better reading. Get it set & just try to=20
balance it or hold it lightly. I keep the feet fairly well extended when e=

possible for less instability.
