Thanks Ed.I am thinking of adding a back plate to mine to keep it from shifting/moving once I get it set properly. I have been getting good readings though as I had a few hand picked. The really odd one was a Cleveland Hibore stamped at 10.5 but actually a 13. The only other thing one has to be careful with is face bulge and grooves.

André, Thanks. I was aware of the article. If you start reading near the top of page 6 you'll see a quote from Tom that "Because of all the 'nuances' with differently designed woodheads, there is no possible way I can cover all that is required to ensure proper placement of the woodhead in the specs-measuring machine". It goes to say that "I also have to tell the foundry the exact point of sole contact on the base of the specs-measuring machine". Tom has mentioned that he has spent days training people in order for them to accurately measure his woodheads. I have no idea how long it would take for someone to have confidence in measuring any woodhead you might run across. I was never comfortable that my measurements were accurate to any degree of certainty. Even the slightest movement of the head could cause fairly dramatic changes in the readings. This was with the exact same Green Machine illustrated. If someone is able to confidently measure woodhead specs I heartily congratulate them. I couldn't do it. Now irons are a totally different story :-) /Ed
