As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut OnceSince custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring TapeExtend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End HookThe sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
"LE" grade phenolic rods consist of a fine weave linen fabric base with a phenolic laminate. The combination of the two provides a finer surface texture and better machinability than Canvas Grade CE phenolic. Linen phenolic operates with less noise than metal. In addition, this physical material is not as abrasive as fiberglass alternatives when used in wear applications. LE phenolic has low moisture absorption and dissipation factors. It is easily machined and is ideal for use when good mechanical properties are necessary. LE phenolic has excellent electrical characteristics and is considered to be 'electrical' grade, the major difference between it and regular linen phenolic. Linen LE phenolic complies with the requirements of Mil-I-24768/13, Type FBE.
