I, too, have a watchmaker's staking plate. Mine has a precise vertical
guide for a punch and a precise pin to locate the circle of holes in the
block beneath the punch center. While the pictured item might have had a
scrounged micrometer head substituted for the punch guide, there is no
obvious placement for a block axis pin.

Bugs: if yours is similar, how is your block located?
