I did call VPI and talked to Mike who confirmed the 15 mm overhang and 271mm effective length so I trust it as much as I can. Yip seemed to have some hesitancy concerning these values. Maybe he was just being careful. Maybe(probably)he's seen this thread. Anyway, I'm just being a compulsive double checker. I'll probably struggle with that habit all my life.
Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions
I'm contemplating the purchase of this brand of protractor.
Over the years I have relied on a good friend to mount cartridges and set up the few tables that I have owned in the past.
Relying on someone else to do this was for good reason.
I would never make it as a watch maker or any other profession that requires a fine touch and skill with steady hands.
The time has come where I will have to do this totally on my own.
My question to you owners of the Feickert protractor is what is your experience with it regarding ease of use and accuracy compared to other protractors?
Secondly, the disk has strobe markings for speed set up, does the Feickert package come with a strobe light for the $250. selling price?
I asked these question of a dealer sent via a e-mail and have not received a reply as of yet.
Thank you for your replies.
