While I've never used the NucklJac tool, I don't see why it should take any longer to do it the way James Kelly basically suggested. In fact, unless I'm missing something significant, it would seem to be doable in less time, if using the tool requires that you mount it next to each jack you're regulating. For sure, there'll be some tweaking, but if you were to start with a line defined by the facing edge of the knuckle core, and then modify one or more sample jack positions towards the front of the keyboard until you find the point at which the jack can be made to cheat, then you have the 'window of reasonable jack placement. You seem to be letting what you interpret as a 'sideways knuckle' throw you. It's no different than a 'normal' knuckle. Find the workable position, make a line, and move them to the line. Then you can get nuanced after that.
I'll acknowledge if you prove me mistaken.

Thanks to everyone who posted. <If> i get the job, I'll have to allow extra time for the jack regulation, since it's bound to take longer that using the Nuckljac :)
Sorry to hear about Richard's passing.

Attached is a photo of what I'm calling a sideways knuckle. My question is : how do you use the Nuckljac to regulate jacks with this kind of knuckle? I tried to email Richard Salamone and that bounced, the phone number is now answered by an Hispanic with no English and the website takes you to a Chinese soccer page. So, I suspect Richard is long gone. Thanks,
