I like that idea Dave. I'll rig up a "fixed" flange like that next time around. Essentially, that is what I did last night, leaving the flange pretty much set. But that only makes it consistent for that set. I could never set it exactly again, so a fixed flange would be better for set-to-set consistency. Thanks for the idea.
