<DIV>You would think. But you don't really want the string more than 5 =
mm or

only
have a few millimeters of up or down adjustment. So you really need to =
get the
plate very near an ideal height - the pins don't really allow all that =
much
adjustment. I find myself adjusting the plate height just as close to =
ideal as
I did before using the adjustable system.<SPAN =
