Reliability of measuring tools?
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2012 3:39 pm
I got a big aluminum square from Menard's or Home Depot (forget which), and while I was working on drawing panel cut lines onto my plywood, I realized that so and so many inches on that thing does not match that measurement on my old steel square and several other rulers.
I had a bit of erasing to do becasue of the inconsistency.
If you can't trust a ruler, well, I don't know,
Anybody else experienced such?
Or, Maybe the square that seems off is actually a state of the art instrument, adjusted for the curvature of the earth?
