Thanks Dale, but this might be a stupid question. How do you know
what the measurement actually is. I haven't seen one of these so am
making some assumptions based on what I've read. My understanding is
that you have a nut and a locking nut which I can only assume keeps

Scott, the rotomatic is plained a bit on one side so the ruler will
sit flat on a surface. On the opposite side it is plained, also, but
every half inch, a thread sticks up so one can tell where the half
