Construction Channel Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Ignoring Faye's poor spelling it is great for its job. Sometimes you can tell at a glance but it's been nice to have just to check the borderline slates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSharp01 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 So only those that fit in the middle slot are acceptable? If so why do you need three slots OR are you sorting them into three thicknesses and rejecting everything else in which case you need three? The go / no gauges (guages) I have ever used only had two slots / ends, what have I missed, its early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted June 11, 2017 Author Share Posted June 11, 2017 You have missed nothing. After I made it I realised the big Slot was pointless. I'm useing it to grade the slates into 3 thicknesses. Thin ones go at the top. But assuming the slate didn't fit in the thin or medium slot then it goes in the thick pile anyway. ?

How did you decide on your slot widths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
