Yep, that's the one I was checking out. It looks like it has a regular

Ok, I'm sold. *I have been very happy with Veritas so far. Those

On the microadjust version, you first lock the rear of the body against
the shaft using the knurled nut at the back end of the head. *This locks
using a router collet style compression fitting. *You then turn the
front part of the body relative to the back of the body for fine
adjustment. The fine adjustment locks with the thumbscrew.

One thing to watch out for on all the versions with a circular
body...make sure they don't roll off your bench! *I wish they'd machined
one or two flats on the rim to prevent this (or made it oval like their
3-in-1 gauge).
