Woodpeckers has a new type of tab available now, called an “offset tab”. These have a Z-bend on each side so that the tabs drop down level with the bottom of the track. The idea is that you can now lay the story stick down in the middle of a workpiece, and still be able to mark your lines.

Woodcraft didn’t have the offset tabs in their computer system yet, but Woodpeckers shows them on their Story Stick Pro page.
