But there is no way the tips can not be aligned and the flats,which are perpindicular to the center axis, be right, or vice versa. Question is which is easier to see.


This is the sorce of your problem. You have turned this into an either or situation...or a my way is best argument.

If the question is which is easier to see, The answer is without question...THE FLATS.

Not only is it easier to see...one can use feeler gages to tell how much.

If you prefer to use the points...go for it...however, that does not make you right.

On the other hand, if one chooses to use the flats...that does not make him/her wrong.

We are up to 5 pages now and you can not seem to bring youself to that conclusion...and leave it alone.
