    Radius gauge and reverse engineering

    I recently posted about some reverse engineering that I needed to do to replicate some classic motorcycle crankcases at
    http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/h...029#post120271

    Continuing on from that I needed to measure some corner and other radii, there are many possibilities for such tasks, for example MichaelMoore recently posted his templates at
    http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/r...348#post122031

    This current post is about a set of radius gauges that I built using a digital gauge as the measuring element.

    I have put the full story in a PDF which can be seen and/or downloaded from:
    Tony's radius gauge
    I have also written a simple bit of software to perform radius calculations and that is linked in the PDF file. I will also add a video in the next few days.
