Bob, I agree with your statement about using it to settle arguments. That is why we bought it. The bloody fingers of several engineers were not convincing enough, so we had to resort to a tool of less subjectivity. It succeeded it getting the then prototype sheet metal in question run through a deburring process as a production function. Downplaying its' own inherent degree of subjectivity, for my money - it works as well as a gauge as it does as an argument ender, and I like having it in my tool arsenal.
