That's the problem with feeler gauges, first finding them, and then
remembering the numbers to use.  Guess you could inscribe it on the plane,
near the hang hole.

Printer paper I have easy access to.  Currently measuring at 0.0040" here
in the office. (Cheap legal pads showing up at 0.0025")

Found a few posts on Knots and others, one of which has Hamler saying he
prefers a scraper (thin) in the LN112.  What do I know?
