Reading a tape measure is essential for any successful woodworking or DIY project. Here’s a quick guide to ensure you get it right:

Recognize the Marks:

Inches are the largest and most visible numbers.

Half-inch marks are the next longest, followed by quarter-inch and eighth-inch marks.

Sixteenth-inch marks are the shortest and often overlooked but crucial for precision.

Key Tips:

Align the zero mark at the start point and read from left to right.

Keep the tape taut for an accurate reading.

Practice reading small increments to improve accuracy.
