Equal Spacing Made Easy
By Benjamen Johnson
Spacing markings equidistantly can be tedious and prone to error; it's easy to make mistakes calculating the distance between the marks. The Point-2-Point from M-Power makes spacing marks equidistantly almost as easy as pulling out a tape measure.
Just choose how many points you need to mark and stretch the Point-2-Point so that the bracketing uprights line up with the ends of your project. The geometry of the gauge keeps each upright the same distance away from the next, no matter how far it's stretched. For example, if you need to mark three equally-spaced holes on a board, line up the first upright with one end of the board and the 5th upright with the other end of the board.
Four thumb screws allow you to lock the gauge when you need to transfer measurement from one piece to another. The Point-2-Point includes eight stainless steel uprights and can stretch up to two feet. Pricing starts at around $20 before shipping.
