Anyone know if these are likely to be pure utter shite or stand a chance of being alright?

If anyone knows any places that sell some nice adjusters with clear mm scales on them like these then let me know please. Embarassed

I haven't Crying or Very sad

I just don't like the stock ones because the gaps between markers on the stock ones are huge and I am a blind fat wanker who can't guesstimate between them so was looking for blocks with a smaller scale (increment sizes).

in my experience the block markers arent always accurate. have you considered an alignment tool?

Actually, I like it but don't love it. I'll do a review on it when weather is nicer and the back drop isn't to a shitehole city (Glasgow) Laughing

Does anyone actually use the markings to check alignment? If I were to get anal about it I'd use suitable lengths of wood to see how far the rear is or isn't aligned but I normally do it by eye. When I've aligned it as best I can that way I just rely on the thread being the same on each side and make sure I do equal turns each side.

That's a coincidence, I'm a decrepid, deaf, wanker. Neutral
