I'm sure it would work. But its a complex solution to a simple problem, IMHO.
I'll continue to just use my steel rule pinched against the stock to determine height. or just observe the tool right as it reaches zero on facing. Or just measure the height above the compound surface with my caliper. bet there's a couple more methods I'm not thinking of.

Like this? This is how I was taught 40 years ago. Top leaning right, lower the tool. Top leaning left raise the tool. And great for finding center...BobI'm sure it would work. But its a complex solution to a simple problem, IMHO.
