I look at lining tools and wonder if they're worth the effort unless you expect to make a lot of dials. I would put the time into a multiple carriage-stop which is likely to be used more often.

That's clever. Do you drag and scratch or have a very fine engraving tool spinning really fast - have wanted an excuse to buy those tiny engraving thingies. Bill
