MEASURING FACTSHEET Rules
Uses Advantages For measuring up to 300mm Rigid form which means it will in length not bend and flex
Disadvantages
Ends can get worn so the measurements are not accu- rate

Measuring Tape
Uses Advantages For taking measurements up Longer, so more versatile to 5 metres
Disadvantages
Can become twisted and break
Ends can break off making them useless

MEASURING FACTSHEET Gauges
Uses Advantages Making lines from a datum Greater accuracy point/line Easier to start a cut (Cutting Gauge only) Making locations for mortise grooves Can be used to make the same di- mensions across different loca- Creating cut lines tions
Disadvantages
Points/blades become blunt over time
Some parts may become lost making them useless
Datum lines have to be accu- rate

MEASURING FACTSHEET Templates
Properties Uses Can be made from any mate- Used for marking out multiple rial shapes/designs ensuring they are all identical to each other.
Advantages Disadvantages
All designs/shapes are identi- Can become worn and inaccu- cal rate over time
Speeds up marking out times
Designs/shape templates can be reused at a later date

MEASURING FACTSHEET Micrometre Uses Advantages Measuring material thickness- Highly accurate, measuring to es to a high degree of accura- 0.01mm cy
Internal Micrometre can be used to measure internal di- mensions e.g. hole diameters
Disadvantages
Can be difficult to read if inex- perienced
If dropped can be broken easi- ly
Expensive to buy
Highly accurate, measuring to 0.01mm
