How is this metric?

Not sure where to put this so why not the jokes forum.

How can a centre finder be metric, or imperial for that matter?

Because it isn't just a centre finder it also allows offsets. "Offsets range from 1mm to 20mm”, in 2mm increments". I'm not sure what 20mm" is though, maybe political correctness gone mad. :D

You did notice that you can flip it upside down and use the stepped section as a height setter for your table saw blade/router bit? :rolleyes:

"Offsets range from 1mm to 20mm”, in 2mm increments".

How do you divide 19 by 2?

[aldav]

By starting with 1 and dividing the 18 by 2? Also not quite sure how you can get to 20 if you start with 1 and you can only add in 2mm increments. :? Don't ask me Doug, I was just trying to help. :roll:

9.5

My calculator said it’s 9.5

I had to use a calculator, that may be its own issue[emoji1782][emoji1782][emoji1782].


If you build it they will come,
I don’t see an issue Doug, ok you don’t need it because you are intelligent,
But others may want it an if the inventor makes a heap of Money off it good on them I say.

Cheers Matt.

Used to have to deal with an architect that insisted on giving internal cabinet measurements + 20mm for the sides. Had him on the phone SO MANY times to ask what mattered. Was told every time is the board is either 18mm or about 19mm if veneer. Just give us the OVERALL cabinet size. Over 10 or so cabinets this could well mean the entire unit would not fit the room! He never quite got it. Just give me OVERALL dimensions and rough cabinet spacing. It was actually easier to work from overall with say 5 doors - much simpler.

If you murdered him I'm sure you'd have gotten a reduced sentence. :D

So it's a metric offset marker - but it's still a non-specific-measuring-system centrefinder. :wink:

It's ambidextrous, it does metric and imperial center finding :U
