Rubberlegs, thanks for posting that link, a chart for the workshop wall! I'd seen it somewhere before a while ago but couldn't find it in my downloads. A useful reference as I've found digital verniers don't help a lot if the clamp area is out of round! Also useful to post possible applications if you are selling an unusual size post on the 'bay. :-)
