Some time ago I made my own test bar to use the variation of RDM suggested above by RJSakowski. My center drilling was off by about a half thou so I use RDM to correct for this. In addition, there are a couple obvious ways setup errors could affect this measurement so I check for them too - it's easy once the test bar is available, see:
