A 6-mm error in spindle-to-pivot distance would constitute a disaster because there would be no way you could achieve the designed alignment with a 6-mm error in spindle-to-pivot mounting distance. Normally, there should be no more than a 1-mm error, which is easily compensated by the length of the headshell slots. Furthermore, even if your arc protractor has a 1-mm difference in its spindle-to-pivot distance compared to your tonearm's, the alignment you achieve will still be very accurate because the error in overhang from a 1-mm spindle-to-pivot error will be only about 0.08-mm.
Based on my many years of experience in tonearm alignment, I believe the arc protractor is the best and most accurate type of protractor to use with tonearms having a fixed spindle-to-pivot distance with adjustable effective length.
