Many of our Circular related calculators can be used for multiple purposes. If this calculator is not exactly what you need, try one of these Similar Circular Calculators.


Number of Increments
?
This is the Scale of the template.
For Full Scale enter 100 increments in a length of 100 mm, and Long Ticks every 10
In Length mm

Total Template Length
Template Width
Long Tick Every Ticks
Labels
Tick Length
Start From
?
Long Tick Numbers step by this amount.
E.g. Long Ticks every 10, and Step = 10 = long tick labels 0, 10, 20, 30 etc.
Long Ticks every 10, and Step = 1 = long tick labels 0, 1, 2, 3 etc.

Font
Orientation
To set the scale, enter the number of increments in a given length. E.g. for a true scale tape with 1mm increments, enter 10 Increments in a Length of 10. Enter Long Ticks every = 10 and Step = 10.

Example:
You need a Thermometer scale (Celsius)
The Full length of the template = 310mm (with end margins)
It starts from -30° and goes to 50° (total 80 increments) with degree numbers and long ticks every 10°.
Enter Number of Increments = 80 and In Length = 300.
Enter Total Template Length = 310, Select Labels = Tick Labels
Enter Long Ticks Every = 10, Start From = -30 and Step = 10
Hit Calculate to draw the template.
For a shorter thermometer, change In Length to 200, and Total Template Length to 220

How to Print Large Templates over multiple pages.
If you're cutting blocks, concrete, stone or ANYTHING and there's DUST - DON'T TAKE THE RISK
Don't cut it, or cut it wet so there's NO DUST - Silicosis Sucks
And if you're cutting wet, wear a mask - there's dust in the spray mist too!
