most often when measuring lie angle on an iron or wedge, I mark the leading edge equidistant from either end of the scorelines. example, I measure the length of the score line (54 mm) divide by two and put a mark at the 27mm point. I then put in in the GW1040, use the business card method so the distance on either side of the gauge centerline is the same. This seems to be accurate and makes sense.

Just put the Max Milled wedge on the loft/lie gauge and this just plain doesn’t work as the lines go all the way to the toe. Anything I’m missing here?

Good question. Using the scorelines as a guide to mark the center of the face or sole is common practice (I do it too), but on the MAX wedges or any other like them, you have to use your eye and the center of the sole. I set them up in the gauge and eyeball it until I get the head soled in what I believe to be the center. I’m pretty confident in what I see and would suspect most experienced clubmakers like yourself will be able to as well. The scoreline marking method is not perfect and I have marked the center of scorelines before and it is not in the center of the face, so it’s not perfect.
