Anyhow these are my version, I used square stock (key stock to many.) I used 
1/4" and 1/2" square stock to make these.

  

How they are used.  

by setting the stops on the Legacy acme screw as a starting point, all you need 
to do is return the carriage to the original starting, dis-engage the split nut 
and use the stop as a measuring platform, With the gauge block touching the 
stop and the split nut body , will make sure your spacing is exactly where you 
want it to be every time.

I mounted them on my 200, so they are easy to find and use when needed.

  

Simple tools for getting the job done.

I use precisely cut wood blocks typically made from baltic birch that work
great for me.
I mark each one for the width they are with a Red Sharpie.
