The Grid is used to align Guide Tubes for a straight and accurate penetration. Holes are 1 mm apart in a rectangular array within a 19 mm diameter. Accurate alignment is accomplished by 1 cm long guide holes. A Spacer is recommended to bring the Guide Tube Top (flared end) near the top of the Grid Cup. The Offset Grid is identical except the holes are offset .5 mm in one direction in the array. The direction of the offset is indicated by a missing hole near the perimeter of the grid. When used in conjunction with the Standard Grid (6-YGD-D1) it provides three times as many penetration points when the offset is rotated 90 degrees.
