Cutting bands video 2 (with ruler and 2 types of adjustable taper rulers)

[@fletscher6257]

Thanks for showing. I also have these cutting rulers. But in the meantime I prefer to use templates. I still use the rulers for experiments with tape sizes.

[@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat]

I much prefer the templates as well!

nice educational review buddy.... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 greeting from Malaysia. 🙋🏻

Greetings friend!

[@Yinn224]

Hey friend, thanks for this wonderful instructional video! I’m about to buy my first set of tapered rulers. Any thoughts between the 2 you showed? Which do you prefer? Trying to decide between them.

[@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat]

Whatever you shoot the most. I have 10 different taper templates for my most common tapers for all the ammo sizes I shoot. Aliexpress has good prices for them.

[@Yinn224]

@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat gotcha, but what about these "universal" rulers? Any preference between the 2 you showcased?

[@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat]

@@Yinn224 I like the all clear one best.

Can you please explain how you got 5mm when calculating the true taper? Please!

[@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat]

The taper is 15mm x 20mm so the difference is 5mm. This means that you need to taper it by 2.5mm off each side to make it a even true taper.

[@cres213]

Can you explain how you taper both sides again. You think you can give me a couple of examples here in the comments

[@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat]

Take off half of the raper difference. For a 20-10 taper take a cut of 7-2 off first to give you a square end.

@@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat half of the taper Let’s say I wanted to make a 24-18. Id take away 12-9 first ?

[@chrisa9435]

⁠@@cres213from what I gather you get the difference from 24-18 which is a difference of 6 basically 24 minus 18. Then you would taper the first cut to 6 and then half of that which is 3 so I believe it would be 6mm on the “big” side and 3 on the “small” side.

[@westsenkovec]

What size cutter is that? They say you need a 60 mm cuter from their site because it works the best with the ruller because of the tall edge. Is that true? Do you have to tilt your cutter because it's smaller?

[@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat]

Yes, I use a 60mm roller cutter. I don't have to tilt mine. The cutter that goes with it though has a lip that catches on the ruler. Definitely a big help. I have that roller cutter as well.

[@travismcclain5999]

I too am in an experimental phase. Where did you get the ruler?

[@SLINGSHOTFEVERpullshootrepeat]

Gzk, and the slingshooting.com are where I got those ones.
