Oh my god thank you so much. I had no idea how to measure rounded corners like these, and I needed to know, because I'm going to be measuring real life objects and then integrating them to AutoCAD.
I'm using the same techniques shown in this video but my eyes aren't as good as they used to be. I'm doing small parts and i think i might need to make some templates instead.
I have a blueprint that calls for me to measure from the end of the part to the center of the radius. The radius is .5 inch. Does that mean i measure the distance and subtract .5 (the radius) or subtract .25 (half the radius)? Have been in a debate/argument with a coworker about the drawing and whether it is drawn correctly. Thanks.
Absolutely right, especially as spas can warp slightly with time. If the supplied radius measurement comes to us with a photo of the spa, then 99% of the time we will know what spa model it is.
what is the angle of a curve per 1 inch diameter circle...2 inches 3 inches at what point is the curve of slope at .. What is the wording for the Bend.. thank you in advance
No need to know any angle. Radius is half the Diameter, irrespective of size. We call the 'Bend' the "Corner radius'. It represents the circumference of quarter of a circle. Radius can only be calculated this way if indeed the corner radius is quarter of a circle. If the curve is not regular and does not form quarter of a circle, then a template is required as it won't obey the calculation rules discussed in the video. Not sure that answers your question but the same calculation exists to every size scale.
This method is for measuring a radius. If your question is, can this be applied to non-symmetrical curves, then no, this calculation won't work. It's for measuring a consistent, half circle curve.
True, it can be difficult. When measuring a spa the reading will be close enough for making a cover that fits. If you need to be millimeter perfect, then there is room for error. Still, the theory holds.

I searched a lot and finally found a video with great explanation😃Thank you so much❤

Excellent. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you so very much.
Great explanation- thanks for sharing your experience 👍
Mate, thank you. Very well explained

Well explained sir. ☺️

Common method used in subdivision layout..That methodology is solid
Very useful info. 👍
Ty I needed this for math homework and I don't pay attention in class so ye thanks :D
Thanks for making that so simple
I think the challenge would be finding the exact point of where the flat line ends and the curve start.

Good observation but if you use a long straight edge on both the sides either end of the curve and it should be fairly accurate.
brilliant.

Does this apply to other angles?

@@spacoverman oh okay Thankyou
Commonly used in subdivisions
Measure the Diameter and haff it, it is easy to to miss read the tangent point

You just saved me a lot of 🕓 time and 💶💰💸money. A so called carpenter said he will charge me £150.00 to cut 3 rounds of of MDF .thanks mate 🍺🙈🙉🙊
I need formula
Alaska David no need all you need to know is the square edge
I just wanted to measure a mobile phone charger top radius and regret not learning maths
Radius = 1/2 diameter .
Whos here from pioneer pools

lol me too i sucked at maths.
Nobody remembers that useless crap from school! Lol
