Matts Method is a great way to achieve what you want. You can also go to the Manufactures website and get the specs on your tooling to help you. This way there is no constant running back and forth to the shop floor to measure tools that your going to use. All is good in the world of "WWW".
BTW: Keep using Cutter Comp so adjustments can be made for tool wear.
