If Metric is selected in Step #1, enter the distance between the two outer boundaries (posts, etc.), then enter the actual width of each divider. You use whatever metric measurement you prefer, though millimeters will be the most precise. Just be sure to use the same measurement for the space width and the divider width. Step #3

If you want different widths for end gaps (say, for fasteners), subtract the end gap widths from space width before making your selections. For example, if the space width is 1219 and if you want end gaps of 12 for fasteners, enter 1195 for space width (1219 - 12 - 12 = 1195). The even-width measurements will then span between the two end gaps instead of between the two boundaries. Woah, they cost how much? That's ridiculous... They don't look that hard to build, it's like 3 different parts and some bolts?! I'd even bet someone else has already done it. To the internets! Enter the maximum number of dividers you want to be included in the generated list of even spacing options. Step #4I've also included pictures of the layout part of the assembly process, I know pictures help me more than text sometimes. The newest addition to the outfit’s OneTIME Tool line, the contraption gives you a measuring tool for easily marking six equally-spaced sections on any surface. Even better, you can specify the exact distance between the sections, allowing you to make precise measurements without having to do a whole lot of mental math like you normally would when using a standard tape measure.

Step #4: Multiply the divider width (1.75 in Step #2) by the number of dividers (8 in Step #3) to get a total width taken up by the dividers of 14 decimal inches. Units: The math is unit-less in that if all inch units are used the result is in inches and if all mm al used the the answers are given in mm. Also, meters, angstroms, or whatever makes you happy is used just keep the length units consistant. The Equal Space Divider is manufactured in our Strongsville, Ohio factory, just south of Cleveland. Proudly Made in the USA! Step #5: Subtract the total divider width (14 in Step #4) from the total space width (48 in Step #1) to get a total space width of 34 decimal inches (48 - 14 = 34).

On the production side, we cut each component of the Equal Space Divider out of stainless spring steel using a computer-controlled laser. The pivot pins aren’t the loose rivets typically used in low cost dividers, instead we made precision Swiss-machined pins turned to super tight tolerances and held in place with stainless steel e-clips. You won’t find a better fitting divider joint anywhere. Combine the clever design, top notch materials and the extreme attention to detail and you get a tool that you will love to use. In case you were wondering, that is the official metric spelling of "laser." Trust me, I'm an engineer...
