Roller Measurement Guide

From Omni Metalcraft Corp.
 

 

Set the roller chocks under the roller tube, close to the ends. Allow the ends of the roller to overhang the chocks. If the roller has sprockets, allow the sprockets to overhang the chocks as well. Additional spacers may be needed under the chocks if the sprockets are too large to allow the roller to sit level. Short rollers may only require a single chock for support. Rollers less than 6" in length can be measured using only the calipers and do not necessarily require being supported by the chocks.

The Angles are used to provide a straight vertical edge to measure from.
- They are placed on either side of the roller like book ends.
- The vertical edge is placed against the desired surface to be measured.
- When both angles are in place the tape measure can be used to measure between them.
- This method provides a very simple yet accurate measurement between hard to reach surfaces.
