Equal spacing tool?

[Chris C]

Thanks, I might make a sector. I would make the other thing but I would need a milling machine.

I have a mill you're welcome to use.

Well, at least we all now know the cheap ones are junk.

I guess time saving can get expensive.

 

[demondeacon]

Rockler has one for $29 as well

 

[Graywolf]

Got it. How long is that? Is there a scale to check for accuracy?

I think it’s to scale if you just print

 

[Graywolf]

@Graywolf Is that Jim Tolpin's version or someone else's?

It’s either his or Red Rose reproductions, I can’t remember off hand. It was a free down load several years back.

Mike - if you'd like to make a sector, I'd be happy to cut/rule it on the CNC for you. Super accurate.

@JNCarr how much would you charge for it? I would be interested!
If I can find some anodized aluminum would you be willing to CNC that or
only wood?

Ah, I think that Tolpin’s free download, I attached a link above. I really like his video explanation of the sectors uses

Check with Phil. I believe he has a milling machine. Or his son does.

I'd be willing to make a few of these for just the cost of the stock (or free is stock provided). I've done thin aluminum, but prefer to stick to wood.

I'm interested in one. Let me know the cost. What stock do you need? I'm not familiar with the details what gets fed into a CNC.

Also, I've lost track of this thread. Are you planning to cut out the sides for a sector? Are you also able to cut the hinge?

I was just planning on cutting the two rules, but let me think about a good way to do the hinge - might as well make a project out of this -

Hey Mike -
I ginned up a simple design last night and cut it this morning. It's all yours if you want (minus the 5/16 T-bolt and knob which I stole off another jig just to test this).
The knob is nice because you dont have to so careful about not moving it after the first distance transfer (as the guy in the video was). Just tighten the knob...
Stock is 5" x 3/4" x 20" hard maple. Any 3/4" stock would do, I just happened to have some maple the right size.
I left the holes for the divider nibs pretty small, since I didnt know what size yours are. If too small you can probably open them up with a nail set.

Jim and Hank - I'll make one for each of you if you want - cost you $10 for the stock (T-bolt not included) and a beer for me!

If anyone else wants the DFX and/or V-Carve files let me know - I'll send to you.

Thanks Joe,
I will send you some stock (I need to prep it first so It might be a couple weeks, (Is that O.K.?)
Oh, and I would like to make it from 3/8" stock, will that be a problem?
I will still send you $10 for beer money! LOL

 

[Mike Davis]

Thanks!

I'll pm my address.

Anything I can do for you please let me know.

 

[chris_goris]

Dividers?

3/8 stock is no problem for me, but it's going to be pretty thin at the overlap joint. The frontside will be 3/16" thick, but the backside overlap will wind up being only .08" thick (where the T-nut is) by time the 0.1" T-nut head recess is milled in.

I would like the hinge overlap to be the same (3/16) so I can put a binder screw through the hole or a carriage bolt with a knurled nut - is that possible?

So, I bought this today. Should be here in a few days.
