I'm building the Woolson neck angle jig from the OLF plans I purchased last year and I'm wondering what the bolt that is mounted in the top of the aluminum bar is used for? Can anyone help?

Thanks, Steve

It adjusts to show the gap at the bridge location in relation to the plane of the upper bout (along the aluminum bar). Different folks use different gaps dependent on the scale and size of the guitar.
