Flat when taking the measurement? right? I think he is just showing how to move up the electrode, gap it.

it doesn't have to touch the inner circle. It needs to be flat.

i was just about to take a pic when the camera died, awesome , but with this tool its impossible to get it perfectly parallel to eachother, its gonna move one of the things one way or another

If its off by .001, do you really think its going to matter?

just do like rs said and narrow the gap a fair amount. then spin the gapper and give a little upward pressure to get it out to around .55

im not talking the measurements of the tool, im taking the parallelness ( idk if thats a word) of the hook to the electrode, not the perfect measurement

Maybe you should let someone else do it. The gapper goes from small do big. Get it so the distance is around .050-.055 (Mine are at .052).

yea, i cleary understand for the 5th time. YOU said the tange has to be parallel to the electrode, it cant be if the measurement is at .55 is what im saying, or did i do something wrong ?
