Device to Measure Cut Length of a Hand Drawing

Post by PlasmaDoodler »

Does anyone know if there is a small device to measure the length of your cut on a hand-drawn pattern?

You can check at http://www.engineersupply.com under blueprint measuring wheels. They small measuring dials and
are made by Alvin or Scalex. These will give you the ability to follow your shapes and give you the inches of cut. Marty

I guess my cutlengths by knowing the elaspsed time my 'flashcut cnc' software displays, times the cut speed, 6min 14sec (/60) [6.233 min]*50im or 311.5 inches approximately. Since this is to scale- less time for smaller size and less detail to more time for larger highly detailed designs.

you could try and find one of these, I use to use them when I was measuring jobs for work (off maps).

You could use one of these. Just take the handle off.
