You might try instead doing a very quick lettoff and then establish a 
drop line.  With all else regulated, establishing a drop line for 
hammers insures a dead even height, or dead even distance from strings 
at drop... or whatever you want to establish. From that point, fine 
regulating lettoff by eye is a snap... and the whole process is much 
quicker then using measuring tools and diverse jigs.

      My point was that when regulating a straight hammerline from
    samples, varying the let-off point (the hammer "stop") will affect
    aftertouch, which is why I have started to set escapement at a
    consistent height above the keybed, rather than an equal distance
    from each string.
       
      Your point on adjusting drop with the Spurlock jig is absolutely
    correct,and is a great way to get the simaulteneity of the 2 contact
    points consistent.
