Thanks for the tip, Lee. I'll take all the feedback you guys can give... I'm new to this, and appreciate any and all tips and ideas for improvement you have.
I'm assuming when you say "scribe", that you really just mark the dykem itself?
Yes, very lightly,but a light scratch will polish out if, you get a little heavy.
I only marked inside of which will be drilled away anyhow.
It is easily re-marked if in error, and easy to see when re-checking your measurements.
I also used it on the sawn edges of my plates as an indicator for straightness.
Hit it on the belt sander to indicate the high spots, hand file them down to close,and finish off on the belt sander.
