Custom Measuring Tape Templates - Any Scale - Any Increment
?
Many of our Circular related calculators can be used for multiple purposes. If this calculator is not exactly what you need, try one of these Similar Circular Calculators.


Number of Increments
?
This is the Scale of the template.
For Full Scale with 1/16" increments enter 16 increments in a length of 1" and Long Ticks every 16
In Length
Total Template Length
Template Width
Long Tick Every Ticks
Labels
Tick Length
Start From
?
Long Tick Numbers step by this amount.
E.g. Long Ticks every 10, and Step = 10 = long tick labels 0, 10, 20, 30 etc.
Long Ticks every 10, and Step = 1 = long tick labels 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.
Step
Font
Orientation
To set the scale, enter the number of increments in a given length. E.g. for a true scale tape with 1/16" increments, enter 16 Increments in a Length of 1".
Enter Long Ticks every = 16 and Step = 1.

Select Labels = Custom to enter any label at any Long Tick. Enter labels separated by a comma.
Total Length Increments Long Ticks Tick Thick



Example:
You need a Thermometer scale (F)
The Full length of the template = 12-1/4" (with end margins).
It starts from -20° and goes to 120° (total 140 increments) with degree numbers and long ticks every 10°.
Enter Number of Increments = 140 and In Length = 12"
Enter Total Template Length = 12-1/4", Select Labels = Tick Numbers
Enter Long Ticks = 10 Start From = -20 and select Step = 10
Hit Calculate to draw the template. For a shorter thermometer, change In Length to 8", and Total Template Length to 8-1/4".

How to Print Large Templates over multiple pages.
If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or ANYTHING and there's DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's NO DUST - Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - there's dust in the spray mist too!
