My math skills are non existent beyond basic math, and I'm trying to figure out how to space holes evenly along a center line in an area. Let's say I have a rectulanglar block, 6" long ,less 1/4" on each end for a border and I want to evenly space 6- 3/4" holes. First, locate hole #1 and #6 (mark the centers on the work). Then connect those centers with a line. Draw a second line through #1, and mark off six equal spacings on that second line (any spacing that comes out evenly on your ruler will do). Adjust a bevel so that one arm is on the secondary line, and the other arm connects #6 secondary to #6-actual. Then with that bevel set, trace from the other marks on the secondary line to the original line. |

Let's say I have a rectulanglar block, 6" long ,less 1/4" on each end for a border and I want to evenly space 6- 3/4" holes. How do you figure that? My daughter-in-law says you can do that in one of those cheap home design programs. That would be ideal for me. Anyone use one of those programs that knows if they can be used for that? Thanks. Overkill. Easy if you just draw 6 holes on a piece of paper, just basic math. 6 holes = 7 non-hole spaces needed 6" - (1/4 + 1/4) = 5 1/2" for holes after accounting for 2 outside non-hole spaces 6 * 3/4 = 18/4 = 4 1/2" of space occupied by holes 5 1/2 - 4 1/2 = 1" of non-hole space of the 6 holes 1"/ 5 remaining non-hole spaces = 1/5 inch between holes. So... 1. Draw a horizontal line 2. Mark a hole center at 1/4 + (3/4/2) which = 5/8 3. Mark additional centers at 3/4 + 1/5 from preceding center mark 4. Drill holes Note: with dimensions like that it is unlikely you will wind up with 1/4" as a border for the last hole. I hate math. :-) The proper conclusion to draw from the above is "I hate Imperial measurements." This problem is absolutely trivial with metric measurements (see my other post in this thread). I agree ... further compounding the problem is it's unclear whether the OP really wants to: "evenly space (six)6- 3/4" holes" in 5 1/2" between the borders. It that is truly the case, my spreadsheet is correct: http://www.e-woodshop.net/files/Slat...finPudding.jpg - or 3.571875mm between each hole and the borders. If he want the edge of the circles to touch the 1/4" borders on either side, he wants 13/64" between the circles with the edges touching the 1/4" borders: http://www.e-woodshop.net/files/Slat...inPudding2.jpg -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 4/15/2010 [email protected] (the obvious) |

That's the same thing my spreadsheet came up with a couple of hours ago, in about 1/10 and 1/2 seconds. LOL The question remains ... is it really what the OP is asking for? He could want the edge of the holes 1/4" from the edge of the 6" board. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 4/15/2010 [email protected] (the obvious) |
