You’ve measured your part, designed and built a fixture.
Will everything fit the way you want?
A simple way to check the alignment of your parts is to use 3M blue painters tape.
It engraves white giving you a high contrast mark easy to read and measure.

Well, I'll be certain to try that trick soon!

Great tip Mike, I've been using regular tape and it's really hard to read that.

I too have been using just the white masking paper however it is very hard to see. I will be sure to pick-up a roll of the 3M. By the way, great jig as well! Would you mind sharing it as I engrave the same pens. I have been using a jig with straight channels and it requires supporting the bottom of each pen to make it level. Looks like yours would eliminate the need to do this.
Thanks again.
