Is there such a thing, as a jig to hold and measure (more accurately) mouthpieces? One that will precisely hold the mp while a ball type depth gage can measure all points on the table, rails, and tip? Of course, it must accurately pin point every reading from a mp glass gage.
 

Seems to me, one could be rigged fairly easily using a ballscrew and a dial indicator

I use a machinists vise…..I padded the jaws, of course, but it seems to hold any mouthpiece from sopranino through bass securely……the brand I use is Wilton, and it's size #4……I've had it a long time, and don't remember where I bought it……Santy Runyon had one exactly like it
