Default Hackle gauge

Does the gauge measure the hackle feather from the pin you bend it
round, in which case it includes the thickness of the hackle stem? Or
does it measure from the centre of the pin you bend it round, in which
case the pin may vary in thickness from the hook and you may be better
bending it round a hook and saving a buck?

I bought a nice flexible plastic one for a buck at Hook & Hackle.

Does anyone know where I can find a printable copy of a hackle

gauge.

Thanks
