This guide will show you how to accurately measure the width of the Z section to within 0.1mm which is required when setting up Y notching accurately false en Z_Transom_Width_Measurement_C9CF0BFB-F334-43E9-8E29-F92B5B3B7F4A.jpeg none A straight faced piece of profile the same height as the Z section or taller or a piece of steel straight edge or the like; then lastly a Z section profile for measuring. Place the long face of the 100 mm set square vertically between the Z section and the straight edge as shown in the picture. Lay the short edge of the 150 mm set square along the top face of the Z section. This will support the 100 mm set square’s short edge and stop it falling over - as shown in the picture.
