DCT Equal Space Divider Tool Woodworking Metal Ruler, Equidistant Measuring Tool, Spacing Divider Wood Center Finder 2ft

Product Information

Units: The math is unit-less in that if all inch units are used the result is in inches and if all mm al used the the answers are given in mm. Also, meters, angstroms, or whatever makes you happy is used just keep the length units consistant. If you want different widths for end gaps (say, for fasteners), subtract the end gap widths from space width before making your selections. For example, if the space width is 1219 and if you want end gaps of 12 for fasteners, enter 1195 for space width (1219 - 12 - 12 = 1195). The even-width measurements will then span between the two end gaps instead of between the two boundaries. Find Your Center]: Save time by using the DCT 2-Foot Centering Ruler Equal Spacing Divider Tool to visually design and mark your project into equally divided parts and produce repeatable measurements An then... I found out there is a tool that can evenly space things 4 you! I must have one of these... So sometimes I want to be lazy and don't want to math when laying out a project. Judge away, but you know you've been there too...

Step #5: Subtract the total divider width (14 in Step #4) from the total space width (48 in Step #1) to get a total space width of 34 decimal inches (48 - 14 = 34). On the production side, we cut each component of the Equal Space Divider out of stainless spring steel using a computer-controlled laser. The pivot pins aren’t the loose rivets typically used in low cost dividers, instead we made precision Swiss-machined pins turned to super tight tolerances and held in place with stainless steel e-clips. You won’t find a better fitting divider joint anywhere. If Metric is selected in Step #1, enter the distance between the two outer boundaries (posts, etc.), then enter the actual width of each divider. You use whatever metric measurement you prefer, though millimeters will be the most precise. Just be sure to use the same measurement for the space width and the divider width. Step #3 Step #4: Multiply the divider width (1.75 in Step #2) by the number of dividers (8 in Step #3) to get a total width taken up by the dividers of 14 decimal inches.Step #1: Measure the distance the evenly spaced dividers will be spanning (e.g., from post to post, the bottom of the top shelf to the top of the bottom shelf, etc.). OK, I know you have questions, so here's some questions I asked myself while working on this re-mix. Step #6: Divide the result in Step #5 by the number of dividers plus one (10 dividers will result in 11 spaces). This will leave you with the width of the equal spaces.

DCT Equal Space Divider Tool Woodworking Metal Ruler

The newest addition to the outfit’s OneTIME Tool line, the contraption gives you a measuring tool for easily marking six equally-spaced sections on any surface. Even better, you can specify the exact distance between the sections, allowing you to make precise measurements without having to do a whole lot of mental math like you normally would when using a standard tape measure.Score! Turns out Mikeasaurus has an Instructable for a similar version of the tool I'm after! https://www.instructables.com/id/Equidistant-Layou... Blue Loctite (I like blue over red Loctite for this in case we need to adjust the tension or change the design)

Otherwise, if you are working with feet and inches, convert all feet, inches, and fractional inches to total decimal inches before doing the calculations. After the calculations have been completed, convert the equal spacing result to tape measurements (converters located beneath example calculation). Enter the distance between the two boundaries of the space the dividers will span. You can enter whichever metric measurement you prefer, though millimeters will be the most precise. Just be sure to use the same metric measurement for the divider width. The result measurements will be synonymous with your entries. Or, maybe you, person reading this, will run with it and make version 9?!?! I've attached the Fusion 360 file to this step in case you want to play with the geometry (Thanks mevans12 for requesting it!).However, it was a really useful tool to have before I broke it. I still want one! So I took the basic geometry from Mike's tool and made my own, replacing the rivets with chicago screws.
