Calculate and mark-out running measurements.
This Calculator is designed to mark out running measurements on-site.
Please visit with a Phone or Tablet and use Speech to set out measurements.
On a device capable of speech recognition, tap
Start Listening
and say
Next - Back - Repeat - Stop
to navigate the list and speak the running measurements.
After the result is spoken, wait a second or two before speaking the next command. (watch for the microphone icon at top of screen)
This is experimental - please
let us know what you think

Enter Total Length, Centres and Start Point and tap Calculate to generate the list of running measurements. Tap 'Next' and 'Back' buttons to step through the list on you phone or tablet.
Tap 'Lock' to lock the screen, so it will not scroll when you tap. The inputs are extra large for easy data entry, and the display is large so you can see it more easily in sunlight.
Tap any measurement in the displayed list to jump directly to that measurement in the large display.
On calculator pages that create running measurement lists (roof framing, stairs, baluster etc), click the 'Mark-out' links near each list to open a page similar to this to step through and mark out the running measurements. (Speech enabled on Phone or Tablet)

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!

What do we think? - They're 2 different things:
A
Meter
is a device to measure things - like a Volt Meter or a Parking Meter
A
Metre
is about 3'-3~3/8"
Although diameter and perimeter as measurements - don't seem to fit very well
If the U.S. ever goes Metric, you'll be able to use a Meter to measure Meters - A Meter Meter
(And when we go
back to the moon
to Mars, this time, let's go Metric, ay?)
GO Artemis II !! (thats 2, not eleven - and Artemis is Metric, not Imperial, no matter what they say)
Many of our calculators can be used for multiple purposes.
