How do you propose to set it on "center"? (English speakers
spell that as, "centre"!). That is the nub of my enquiry.


Well, if you have "stock", and it's a small thing of which you're making
many, you get a method that allows both measured increments and a locking
system. You do a test, and adjust, so that once it's good enough, you just
shove the stock in and slice it.

If it's a one-off that has much time/money/work already into it, you use the
same arrangement but plan and measure as best you can first.
