What radius meters are used for measurement?

			Radius gauges are used to measure existing radii in model making, precision machining, layout creation, and part inspection. They are used on a wide variety of objects including hinges, buckets, tools, taps and dies.
			Creating a template
			Radius meters are used in woodworking, especially in relation to layouts and model building. The acrylic radius gauge can be used to check the radius of wood that has been lathed or chamfered. The use of a radius gauge is often important to ensure that parts fit together correctly.
			After processing to check for defects
			Radius meters can be used to check that the radius has the correct curvature and does not contain defects. Defects such as uneven surfaces or scrap metal left over from machining may indicate that the radius needs further machining to give it the desired shape.
			Layout and supervising work
			Radius gauges can also be used to apply specific radius measurements to workpieces so they can be accurately cut or machined to the desired curve.
			Control of tool and casting molds
			Radius meters can be used to make sure castings (metal molds) are set with the correct radius measurement. If they are not installed correctly, the end product may have inaccurately rounded edges or have the same structural strength.
