If you go to catek web page http://www.catek.com/tiltcalculator.htm ,,,you will be able to find how many turns of screws are required to get how many degrees of lift/cant you want.
Just FYI,,,because I had trouble to find out the degree with catek,,,and the main reason to switch to TD.

Nice stuff! I've always counted thread rotations,and then grabbed a protractor to get the angle reading afterward.With the Metric 6mm screws used,a full rotation equals one millimeter in height change.I'll have to run through the Calculator a few times to figure out the relationship of turns-to-lift and turns-to-cant,but at least now I can get those ratios without using Trig.Of course,looking at my lower discs,the calulator will be only a rough guide,as my set-screws have made nifty little dents on a few settings.I see that the newer discs have those dimples in them from the factory.
