Dale,<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Uh, I'm
not sure what type of an answer your looking for here but I'll take a
stab at it. I'm needing to set plate height during the course of a
rebuild and check for down bearing during the course of evaluating a
piano. Isn't that what their for?<br><br>

<dd><font face="arial">Thanks Dale. I've been doing just that but I'm not
happy with the repeatability of measurements. There's just got to be a
better way. Any other gauges out there? I seem to remember a Journal
article with a dial gauge of some kind. Am I dreaming?<br><br>

I made some of John Hartmans stick bearing gauges & am just
getting around to using them. They don't lie. He posted picture a month
or so back.<br>
What are you using the gauge for primarily? What is it you want it
to tell you? Sounds like a duh question but humor me. I use the
Loweel gauge to read my strung up boards. I want to see .012 to .018
residual bearing.<br>
