A lot quicker and easier to abuse a 6" ruler, trap it between the work and the tip of the tool - if it stays vertical the tool's on centre height, leans towards you too low, away from you too high.

Unless you are using carbide tipped tooling where it is a given you will chip the cutting edge. Do not offer up tipped tooling up to a stationary object, you will chip it and render it useless.
