What is a radius meter with multifunctional blades at each end?
| This radius meter has an inner and outer radius on each leaf. This means that each sheet can measure both concave and convex surfaces. This type of gauge is used by tool makers and inspectors to measure the edges and corners of workpieces typically made of metal. | |
| Both ends of the gauge support plates having both concave and convex measurement capabilities. |
 | Because each flap is a separate size, this means a wider range can be covered compared to other radius gauge sets with single-function blades at both ends of the tool. |
 | Each sheet is stamped with a size that refers to both the inside and outside radius in imperial or metric units. |
 | The Multi-Function Radius Blade can be used to check the bulge radius. To do this, use the inside of the manometer. |
 | The multifunctional radius blade can be used to measure the radius of a concavity. It may also be referred to as fillet or shoulder. To do this, use the outside of the tool. |
What are the benefits? | |
 | The advantage is that it is suitable for checking the edges and corners of workpieces in any position, including corners known as "shoulders" (bends created for added structural strength). |
What are the disadvantages? | |
 | The downside is that finding the right part of a reversible blade for every application may not be as easy as having a blade with one assigned function. |
