BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors


Which is more accurate? Recently I decided to check my setup on a Scout using both the VPI gauge and a Baerwald protractor. Using the Baerwald the overhang is dead on in both locations, using the VPI the stylus misses the mark forward by about half a millimeter. Can this small amount of variance have a sonic impact? Has anyone else found this differene and what was your solution?

@gillatgh I’m curious if you have confirmed the correct pivot to spindle distance. Once and awhile I read a post that this can be off spec as delivered from VPI Factory. If it is, there are some protractors that can compensate for it and others that can’t.
