I made this handy jig based on turning tip from the Woodworker's Journal. With this jig you can quickly and accurately set distances on both your inside and outside calipers. Mine i made in 1/4" increments starting at 1/2" and continuing through to 2 3/4" in 1/4" increments. I used a long strip of hardwood I had on hand about 3/8" square to cut the blocks I glued on a plywood back.

I believe the one from Rockler only does outside caliper settings not inside. It does do larger settings for the outside, but Mike's setup does a great job of covering both inside and outside.
