Product Information

Find Your Center]: Save time by using the DCT 2-Foot Centering Ruler Equal Spacing Divider Tool to visually design and mark your project into equally divided parts and produce repeatable measurements Step #1: Measure the distance the evenly spaced dividers will be spanning (e.g., from post to post, the bottom of the top shelf to the top of the bottom shelf, etc.). The Equal Space Divider is manufactured in our Strongsville, Ohio factory, just south of Cleveland. Proudly Made in the USA! An then... I found out there is a tool that can evenly space things 4 you!

IMPORTANT: Numeric entry fields must not contain dollar signs, percent signs, commas, spaces, etc. (only digits 0-9 and decimal points are allowed). OK, that's it for today. Thanks for reading along with me as I learned how this divider tool worked and please consider voting for this Instructable in the Remix Contest!Step #2: Measure the actual width of the dividers. If the width varies slightly, determine the average width. If you are spacing fasteners, the divider width will be zero. Dividing a span of wood into several equal parts is a common task for any woodworking, carpentry, or construction application, but dividing mathematically or with calipers is difficult. Use the DCT 2-Foot Equal Distance Divider Hole Layout Tool to easily mark 8 equally spaced sections on any surface. You can specify the exact distance between the sections which allows for precise measurements without complicated calculations. This equidistant layout divider has 8 arms that correspond to the area you are marking, each of which is mounted on 2 joints in the moving section of the tool. Whenever the moving section of the tool lengthens or shortens, the arms retain uniform spacing throughout the movement. Position the arms at any distance between 3/4 to 4 inches to mark up to 2 feet total. Version 7 changed the holes to net fit (exactly the same size as the chicago screw shaft) and I undersized the slot by .15mm (Yes, .15mm, not a typo. And yes, it made a noticeable difference). Version 7 is where you might need to use sandpaper or the razor to open up the holes if you can't get the chicago screw to fit. I've also included pictures of the layout part of the assembly process, I know pictures help me more than text sometimes.

Units: The math is unit-less in that if all inch units are used the result is in inches and if all mm al used the the answers are given in mm. Also, meters, angstroms, or whatever makes you happy is used just keep the length units consistant. Step #6: Divide the result in Step #5 by the number of dividers plus one (10 dividers will result in 11 spaces). This will leave you with the width of the equal spaces.Otherwise, if you are working with feet and inches, convert all feet, inches, and fractional inches to total decimal inches before doing the calculations. After the calculations have been completed, convert the equal spacing result to tape measurements (converters located beneath example calculation).
