Adjusting Form Rollers without Gauge

My Uni I came to me without a roller setting gauge. Is it possible to get one, and if so, how? If (as I suspect) they’re vanishingly rare, can you recommend method for setting the height of the form rollovers without one?



Thanks!

    A roller setting gauge is essential. Used ones are rare, but NA Graphics sells them new and has both .918″ and .968″ gauges. Gerald Lange was selling a long-handled .918 gauge, but I don’t seee it on his site any more.

    Dave Churchman, in Indianapolis, also sells new roller setting gauges. His contact information is available on his website: http://www.sterlingtype.com
