Re: Setting Cartridge alignment using a Two Point Protractor

209.123.63.81

Don't most (all?) protractors, like my Cart-a-lign, allow you first to set the overhang by positioning the protractor over the spindle in a particular way? That is, at your Step 2.

Once you set the overhang, you use the alignment point just to set the angle. If you've done it right it will be correct for the other alignmnt point. That checks your work. Or you need to make what should be only a small adjustment.

This simplifies the procedure considerably. If your protractor doesn't let you set the overhang first with some sort of precision I think you should get another.

Of course, as you note at the end, if you've already determined the overhang, you can use it for your next cartridge.
