Table Height Fine Adjustment

I’d like to add something to my table height adjustment so I can get finer adjustments. The current adjustment is just too coarse for some operations (e.g. horizontal drilling). I saw this on Shopsmith’s site: Shopsmith Adjustable Stop Collar with Scale, SKU 556434.

Does anyone have this and if you do, what do you think of it?

I have it, and I say "Go for it".

I was looking for the manual on Shopsmith’s site but can’t find it. Maybe I’ll call them. Thank you.

Here's a manual from before they bundled it with a pre-printed scale tape:

The Shopsmith Adjustable Stop Collar with Scale (SKU 556434) is generally well-regarded among Shopsmith users for enhancing precision in table height adjustments, especially for operations like horizontal drilling where small variations can make a big difference.
