> Anyone have any great ideas for how to accurately space screw holes in an
action rail? I need to make a new let-off rail for an old M&H upright and
the only way I can figure to do it is to use the old one as a guide and mark
the new wooden rail. Is there a better way to space?

    Whassamatta with using the old one?  Just put 'em side by side and use a
little machinist's or hobbyist's square, or make a little jig and just go
down the line and mark 'em all.  By the time you could make a scale stick or
come up with some formula, you'd be done.  --David Nereson, RPT
