Tape Measures for woodworking

A difference of .47" is more than 1 cm, the width of a pinky nail, and that is too much, even for carpenters. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Tape Measures for woodworking
It isn't metric at all. Mike was just caught dishing out his usual bull****
again and is trying to backpeddle. ------------------ "dpb" wrote in message ... If it were a mis-measurement, sure, but in this case it isn't a mistake, it's a deliberate compensation. It's the _correct_ measurement for laying out so that the span will work correctly for 8-ft sheets, a most common dimension for sheathing, subflooring, etc., etc., etc. If the truss/rafter/joist system is adequate on 19.67" centers, it's certainly adequate on a _closer_ spacing since that shortens the distance between them and thereby decreases the deflections, etc. from what would be (a few percent at most so not enough to make any practical difference, but it _is_ the conservative direction). -- On 10/31/2011 12:22 PM, Han wrote: ....

I have 5 Fast Cap tape measures, I have had 2 replaced free of charge by the manufacturer. No big deal and all handled through e-mail. Glad they work for you. I've got your 40% problem rate, but in my case it was 100%. The two I've had were problematic from the get go. The one I currently have, flat, flexible and great for measuring around curved parts, was extended to its legitimate length just once (not over-extended) and immediately thereafter will not retract all the way. Grrrrr ... too badm because I like the concept. -- www.eWoodShop.com Last update: 4/15/2010 KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) http://gplus.to/eWoodShop |

Grrrrr ... too badm because I like the concept. I had the same problem with a green one, I e-mailed them and they gladly replaced it. Oddlyit started working again and no problems since. I found that the first white flat one was not accurate. They replaced it too. They have no yet want any of them back. |

Yea, never saw that one. It appears to have a manual lock, not like the one I have... This is what I was referring to.http://www.amazon.com/Komelon-SL2812.../dp/B000BQ7WGI...

I didn't see where either said MM...Although the SL2912 looks like the tape is marked with fractions. This is the one I ordered: http://www.amazon.com/Komelon-4912IM...ot-Metric/dp/B... That tape was only $6 at Lowe's today. I bought the 16 footer for $5.88 plus tax. No 32nd marks, so far I love it. JP |

I've probably spent northwards of three hundred dollars on tapes over the years. It's nice to have found a company that should largely eliminate any further expenditures in that area. Except for gifts. R |

I treat you exactly the same as you to me. Somebody needs to show you a
reflection of your arrogance. In fact I have learned the attitude from you, sweetpants. ------ "-MIKE-" wrote in message ... Yet, dip**** Josepi never has any fact to back up his claims.

These boys make some real nice tapes..

My favorite thus far seems to be the Stanley 33-116. I love the size of it, which is probably why I keep buying them. If I could change it though, I would get rid of the 32nd marks over the first 12 inches of the tape. Maybe it's my eyes, but those little lines just all sort of blur together. And who is going to use a tape measure at all if they are shooting for 64th of an inch accuracy? The only other thing that I might do is put in the eighth-inch labels. But overall, it's my favorite. So far... JP |
