It appears that I put an offer in on a Scherr-Tumico with a bunch of stuff included. I must have forgotten. Anyway, it's mine now. Time to think about a surface gage. SUGGESTIONS?
Heh.. Yes, I have the same Starrett surface plate and my height gage is also 18" high. I think I've only used the full range of the gage a few times in the 20 or so years I've owned the thing but it has never been in my way. A 12" would certainly have been adequate and probably a better fit for the little stone but, hey, it works just fine.
Best thing I did was put the stone on top of a small Kennedy roll around. It puts the work high enough so that when sitting in a comfy shop chair I can really see what I'm doing without stooping down. Very comfortable to do measuring and layout work at, more or less, eye level. Also, the roll around makes it easy to move the thing around in the shop. Surprising how convenient that can be..
