An incremental adjustment tool for being placed between two objects and used to position the first object along the second object in extremely fine increments. The tool has first, second, and third plates arranged in a stack. The first plate includes a first set of teeth with constant spacing between them that interface with a similar second set of teeth on one side of the second plate. On an opposite surface of the second plate there is a third set of teeth with constant spacing between them different from the spacing of the first and second sets of teeth. The third set of teeth interfaces with a similar fourth set of teeth of equal spacing on the third plate. Movement of the first, second, and third plates along one other displaces the first and second objects along one another. The first, second, and third plates can be parallel to one another or non-parallel, to accommodate corresponding orientations of the first and second objects.
An incremental adjustment tool (100) for adjusting relative positions of a first object and a second object, comprising:
