Here i use a digital caliper to ensure the height of grind is perfect. This side must match.
The distance from tip to point of flat must also match side to side. Matching these points ensures uniformity and keeps the tip on center.
Here you see the line I scribed to ensure the tip stays centered on top. Of course it must stay centered the length of the edge grind as well.
