Cheap measuring method for V groves using off the shelf parts.   #Short

I needed to measure the width across the V groves of the Cheap Chinese X-Y table that I am fitting up and did not have some precision ground pins to use. So the hack here is to use a couple of bushings, draw a line on them so that they come in at the same position and use those for the base of the measurement. You could also do this with a couple of drill or mill bits, but those things are longer and have sharp edges that can cause damage.
