Hi Guys,

There are various views on depthing tools. Some argue not needed others important. So I would initially like to see if there is a cheapish way forward iether making one or even buying one.

Any ideas?

Regards

Chris

Making your own might be the best way forward since that would allow you to have a tool that meets your exact requirements.

Clickspring has a series of three videos on the subject. Here is the first –

Definitely make one they don't take long to make and are very useful for setting up anchor escapements too.
