This is the dimension of the Technics tool in the video. Using the paper protractor is good, but maybe not any better than the Technics method. I noticed the Baerwald protractor in the video. Aligning to that protractor will look a little odd if you get it right. It will be pushed forward and angled in, as compared to the Technics method.

I'm planning on setting up the cart tonight. Which approach should I take? Any need to clean any part of the arm or connections? With the measurements, are you guys just using a regular ruler?

Thanks for the help fellas.
