It's not the same as the click rule, it seems you can get up to a 64th of an inch accuracy with a rotomatic whereas the clickrule you're stuck with only every sixteenth which of course is good enough for most woodworking applications. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Stansifer To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 3:06 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Adaptive woodworking tools
Is the resolution on the roto-rule 1/16? This would make it the same as the click rule.

Each turn of this nut is a 16th of an inch. The 6 and a half inch rod is marked every half inch. So, to measure 2 and a quarter inches, one spins the nut to the 2 inch mark and then counts 4 turns to get the quarter inch. earlier, David Sexton, wrote: >How can you tell your measurement is correct with a rotomatic?
