To make this task easier, I built the set-up gauge shown in the photo at right. The gauge frame is simply made of a piece of 1" x 1" aluminum angle. To this I added a second piece of shorter aluminum angle with a wood stop block attached, like you see illustrated in the drawing below. A threaded insert on the top of the wood block accepts a knurled knob that is used to set the tool. Adding a penny in the bottom fills in the space so tine knob can be tightened firmly and accurately. Finally, stick a length of rule to the inside and you're set to go.
