So ein guter Kanal! Bin fasziniert :D Dazu noch ein echt guter Videostil👌🏼

[@Slemi]

I would add a little notch in the middle at the end where the lip is, so that you can see exact center of the 32mm "schablone" is. So that you can mark a line on booth pieces of wood and have hinge at the exact position.

good idea!

Hallo Stephan gute Idee von dir für die Optimierung von einfachen Bandmaßen. Mfg. vom Ndrh. Hans-Peter

[@nobbik9767]

Super Idee 👍

[@GianlucaTurriniok]

Great little jig but the "nose" has been compensated by the metal tongue at the tip of the tape? I mean when you measure internal sizes the metal tip retract of the same amount of the nose depth?

[@stefanocb6507]

Yes, that's usually how they work. They compensate automatically by way of the 'free movement' of the metal piece at the tip of the measuring tape.

Not for USA, why? Do they have not the system 1,25984251968 Inch?

Cool !!! Daniel Düsentrieb mal wieder . ;-)

[@leoojtt]

Awesome

[@gsilcoful]

Thank you.

[@Peter-gn8pj]

Great idea and video, but isn't the plastic fragile? I guess I'd have to not throw my tape measure into the toolbox anymore, or step on it..! : D

You can also use wood.

[@neakemiin]

Danke für die Tipps Stephan. Wirklich genial 👍👍👍👍

[@mikesmicroshop4385]

It is a great idea, but not a new one! Just out of curiosity, why is it not for the USA? You have nothing in this video that is not usable in the US so why the bigotry in your thumbnail?

39,8cm + 10 cm= 49,8 cm 3 1/2" + 10cm = 3 1/2" + 10 cm !

[@stefanocb6507]

I guess he was referring to the fact that he used centimeters instead of inches and that the 3d part is calibrated accordingly. One could of course modify it all so as to make it "inch-friendly"

[@vext001]

And maybe the fact that the hinges we use in Europe (32mm System) are not that common in US.

[@TheArea51]

Völlig sinnfrei...

[@vext001]

Na dann sieh dirs nochmal an - vielleicht wirst auch du den Sinn verstehen.
