Questions & Answers
Your point is well taken. In this tape, the measurement is in hundredths of an inch. The script is extremely useful for my work in the CNC bending equipment field. It is one of the products that I have bought several times. The units are not in tenths of a foot or hundredths of a foot, but rather in While I don't know who is right about the name, I am familiar with this product. I would expect you are looking for a tape which is much longer than the one you are looking for The distance should be either 50 feet or 100 feet.
Those in 32nd and 0 are in the first six" First a second, then a sixteenth, then a tenth.
I think that's kinda like how Skynet intended it to be expressed, so decimal inches are split into tenths. Math is hard for someone like myself, so this is a lot more fun than silly 16th grade.
My measurement does not measure in tenths of an inch, either - as it did not in the previous answer. It's less than an eighth of an inch and a quarter

This one has these decimal inches and the ubiquitous fractional scale, as well as the traditional markings for the top of the tape. As a result, it tends to be more difficult to use well, especially since it has small print and is hard In terms of markings, there is an enormous selection of tapes. In the procedure of calculating dimensions by means of trigonometry, scale in decimal inches saves time and involves more accuracy. To the LEAST, it would be helpful to provide a tape with decimal inches completely graduated on both sides. Even though it's more than nothing, it's still a long way off from being As with other tapes on the market, make a tape with distinct markings that are all in decimal inches top and bottom, and one that can be read clearly.
In Stanley quality, a tenth is equal to one hundred. I work in the metal fabrication industry so I have to measure things all the time. I don't have an 8 foot caliper in the shop so I wanted to make sure everything was in order. There has yet to be a dimensional drawing using fractions from one of our customers. I can easily measure or find what I need to measure with this tape measure by just using it without having to perform complex math calculations. In one side of the table, there are 16ths and in the other, 10ths. There is a difference of just 100th of an inch in the first six inches.
I've read some reviews complaining that the units are not fractional inches or decimal feet. Workers in the metal industry need to take this class. A decimal inch is one foot. I don't think it's a scale or tape for civil engineering. In case you're not looking for the godforsaken combo of civil units, this is an awesome device! I'm not a fan of fractions.
Can Stanley tell me if grey is the new black or did they run out of black ink during the production process? It is so small that I can barely see the numbers. Chinese made tape measures are printed in black ink, making them the cheapest on the market. I will return it, and it will be the last Stanley product I purchase.
There are a lot of blurs and grays on the blade The design of the blade was completely flawed and the black ink should have been contrasting against the yellow Since the coating is not the full width of the blade, the lines appear blotted, almost as if they are drawn with a fountain pen. At times, I wish Amazon had a one star rating, but I often wonder what else could be done with it. They do have a killer case made of cast metal This would have been my perfect score, however the killer cast metal case cannot function without the rest. I have been using this size for decades, though never the decimals. There are times when I split fractions, then split them again, then I split the lines!.
I think it would have been better to have metric units, but I am concerned that it might be There is no need to change anything about the tape. It is easily read as it is. There is a choice of fractions and decimals. We are not talking about heavy duty tape here. It is for work that requires fine finishing. This product is perfect for the purpose it is intended for. The backpack or toolbox is small enough for it to be carried in a rucksack. everywhere I go, so the size makes it more useful than all the bells and whistles that are on the other side. As well as the bells and whistles, it is also well-designed. The twelve feet will not be sufficient for heavy duty work, but you can buy something else if the task is more demanding.
It is better to read carefully before buying, I did not. When I searched for "Engineers Tape Measure," which I had always assumed would be feet, tenths of feet, and hundredths of feet, it showed up. This is NOT what it is! Looking closely at the picture, one can see that foot and inch measurements have tenths of inches on one side and fractions of inches on the other side. You do not have to look closely at the picture to see that, but I did not.
It's nice the way it is, but I'd like to see them make a larger Despite my best efforts, the coating does not last long with the coolant I use at work. A year after receiving my first, I am now receiving my second.
