Repeat Measurements With a Ruler Stop

Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:00]Yeah, I want to show you how to make repeat measurements with improved accuracy and efficiency using these simple rulers with ruler stops. So, here's a clamp, a hand screw clamp that I wanted to drill some extra holes in that I could use to put tracks on clamps to hook it to the bench. So, I had to measure in the center of the piece here and then up from the bottom two different dimensions. So, I took my ruler stop, this is 2 in, I set it for 1 in, so all I do is I I set it against the stock and I made my marks here. And then I took my other ruler and I came in from the bottom 7/8, made a mark, flipped it around 3 and 7/8. So, then I marked all both sides with these ruler stops and I had my marks, no chance that I could make an error, very efficient.

[00:00:46]There you have it, using ruler stops to make repeated measurements.
