Printed Scales

[Chris Schumann]

Thanks to the help of some of you fine folks, I have better scales ready for printing.


A few 6-inch scales and one 10-inch scale on letter sized paper
A few 10-inch scales on letter sized paper
A few 13-inch scales on legal sized paper
A few 16-inch scales on tabloid (11x17) paper

The scales are marked in 16ths of an inch, and just black on white to save ink or toner. There are L-to-R and R-to-L scales You can print on sticker stock, or any kind of paper and attach that as you see fit to the jig of your choice.

When printing, ensure Print Scaling is set to None.

I know most printers will handle legal (11x14) paper, so that was a no-brainer, and for those who have larger printers, the tabloid size was pretty easy to make too.

Please let me know if you can think of any improvements.

Anyone want metric or English/metric?

Thanks for sharing Chris. A good idea.

Lovely clear scales...Metric would be good. Thanks Bruce

Thank you, Bruce!

And here you go: Four metric scale sets - 15, 25, 33 and 40cm. I left the last number off each scale. It's a special case, and quite a pain. If it was good enough for my combination square (no 0 or 12 on it), it's good enough for me.

I put them into a zip file because the last one was 0.3K too big for a PDF. Oh well, the zip file is very small now.
