3. Carefully adjust the position of
the Vee so that the probe skid
and stylus travel precisely along
the top (“crown” or “high spot”)
of the Setting Pin throughout the
entire traverse (measurement
stroke). Make several passes to
ensure that the Vee is properly
adjusted, and that the probe skid
and stylus do not wander off the
top of the Setting Pin during the
traverse.
4. Once the Vee is properly
adjusted, remove the Top Plate
(with the PocketSurf unit on it) from
the Bottom Plate, and remove the
Setting Pin from the Vee. Securely
tighten the two screws in the
bottom of the Vee. Be very careful
not to disturb the position of the
Vee in performing this step.

5. Place the Setting Pin back in the
Vee and place the Top Plate (with the
Pocket Surf unit) back on the Bottom
Plate, with the probe skid and stylus
resting on the top of the Setting Pin.
Make two or three more traverses to
ensure that proper alignment of the
Vee was maintained after it was
secured.
Alternate Vee’s or other fixturing,
fabricated by the user to accommodate
specific workpieces, can be substituted
for the normally furnished Vee.
