I also have the rotocator. 
Me too, but mine's a homely homemade rig, with a block of wood and a dial indicator.  No doubt, when setting a planer, thousandths matter
It's also useful when setting the clearances very precisely.  Infeed roller, outfeed roller, in and out feed bed position and parrelelism, cutterhead depth, side to side height, chip breaker side to side and chip breaker depth, etc.  It's a good idea to set go over everything, and reset to factory.  For example, the chip breaker on my planer needed readjustment as the paint wore off, it's only a few thousandths, but it's the difference between purty good and flat as a mirror. 
YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.
