This violates an important technique of minimising measurement and layout
error, determine a datum such that you can lay everything off from that

rotate it 180 degrees between each move.


This is a technique to compensate for moving the datum.

I am not saying it won't work, and I can see that you have done it to reduce
the size of accurate table needed to register the device.
