Radius measuring tool

(1/4) > >>

BillTodd:
Just saw this rather neat idea while browsing:

The precise setting angle of the calliper jaws means the display reads the radius directly :

awemawson:
Neat, but surely there are very few times that you cannot get parallel jaws across a work piece to measure it, and with those long angled ones you can't get into tight spots I would have thought

BillTodd:
it measures radii so will measure twice the length of tool and  can be used for sectors where diameter measurements are not possible

SwarfnStuff:
Scratched my head a bit and agree with Bill in that it would be useful to get the Radius of stuff where you have only an arc to work on. Rather a specialized tool but very handy if you do that sort of stuff often.  :Doh: :doh: Trying to get my head around how it would go on very large arcs but guess like any measuring stick it can only measure within the limits of it's length.
