    Measuring for picture frames question

    My super sled works great and cuts a beautiful miter cut however this brings up another question. Is there a formula for determing how much extra length is needed for a frame that is say 14" on the inside with a 2 1/4" wide stock?

    Height Measuring Board

    Everyday my daughter (3) asks me to measure her height. She wants to know if she is growing! Well, yesterday morning I decided to make a little something to help. A very simple project for sure, it's a board with markers at each foot, and a sliding stop to mark the height. We'll paint it...

    Measuring RPMs on old Delta lathe

    I have an old Delta/Rockwell lathe driven by a four step spindle pulley and an old motor suspended by a V-belt. Can anyone suggest how I can measure or estimate the four speeds on this lathe? Thanks, wardnc

    Red Tape (clear adhesive measuring tape)

    I don't think I've seen a product exactly like this before: http://www.redtape1.com Think Scotch Tape with measuring markings printed on it for $6.50 a 55 foot roll.

    Measuring and marking

    There are lots of discussions on the web on measuring tools, but they usually degenerate into "My Foo square is .00014 more accurate than your Bar square". Personally, I'm happy if my projects come out within 1/64" - about .015 :-) (or half a millimeter, for us metric fans). Anything smaller...

    Measuring tools???

    I have a budget of $200 to buy measuring tools for my shop. I need a quality square, straight edge, dial indicator, etc. (replacing all my BORG crapola). I need recommendations!

    Laser Measuring Devices

    Does anyone have any experience with Laser Measuring Meters. I am looking at the Leica DISTO A3 and the Bosch DLR165K. They both seem to do the same functions but the A3 costs twice as much ($300 vs. $150). Is the A3 worth the money?
