 Re: How do you define facing length?

I believe you are correct. There're two different method of measuring facing, just as you describe them.

Peter Eaton refers to the facing length issue on his website. I've not had time to investigate but been wondering whether German facings are in fact measured using the the absolute starting point of the cut. While German mouthpieces have longer lays I'm not so sure actual differences between American/French facing lengths are so great in some cases.

From my measurements an18/19mm facing using the feeler guage method equates to around 21/22mm using the absolute method. Certainly into German territory.

There are also two methods of measuring tip opening, one using the inside edge of the tip rail and the other the external edge of the tip rail. Here again can you'll get a difference of around 1mm depending on which you use.

It makes far more sense to move the the absolute method. CNC mouthpieces have to be made that way as you have to programme the machine where to start its cut. That's the future.
