Wong,
One makes the aluminium gauge to fit your chucks, again so that it just (and only just) goes into the chucks, a bit of oil, nice and clean, you may have to turn it a little to get it to go in.
Then you have a means to "measure" any register you wish to make in the future.
I know it is a bit long "winded" but for us in a home workshop, one of the "best" ways.
You will be making a precision and very accurate register gauge, just because we can't always measure it does not mean it is not accurate, so after you have made it keep it safe.
