These pictures are over 15 years old now, but an HS aluminum block stock that needed bedding pretty bad and my preferred method for checking bedding. Same thing Ackleyman is checking, just a different way to do it.
I'm not happy with more than just a flicker of the dial. At .002, I'm thinking I did a crap job with the bedding and need to do it over. Can't remember what that particular HS dialed before skimming, but it was high - like .012 or something in that neighborhood. Most I've ever looked at have been at least .004 or .005.
