I normally never uses those, and I can't remember why I decided to test it..<br />The plastic folding rule ended its life that day..<br />Merry Christmas<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-28200547667920865922012-12-24T16:49:37.500+01:002012-12-24T16:49:37.500+01:00I once installed some mouldings in a room, and I h...I once installed some mouldings in a room, and I had one folding ruler 2 m long in the room and anopther one in my workshop, so I could measure and leave it there and then do the cutting in the workshop. The dirst time the moulding was aproximately 1 cm off. I reasoned that I had made a wrong mark. I tried again, and the same thing happened. Then I compared the two folding rulers, and over the 2 m length there was a difference of almost 12 mm. <br />So I agree on that you should buy as accurate a system as you can afford. <br />Otherwise just use the same tool for measuring, everything you need. Then all your measurements will be based on the same thing.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.com
