Oh man, are these AWESOME. And not like, 13/16 (.8125) awesome….like 100/100 (1.0) awesome.

It’s a couple times a day where I have to whip open up my little calculator app to get a decimal equivalent. Be it for a patch 3/8 (.375) of the day, or a decal 7/16” (.4375”) away from the edge. Or even a tolerance on a poster trap at 3/32 (.09375”) where the colors overlap. And it’s like 29/32 (.90625) embarrassing. I was raised by a dad who gave these to his machine shop customers. Handheld versions 11/64 (.171875) of the time, and wall versions 49/64 (.765625) of the time. And those bad-asses lived by them. I have a couple of vintage ones in the DDC Archives, but just know if I started using them, I’d beat the hell out of them like 17/32 (.53125) of the time and they go missing or whatever.

Fed up, I made my own. And friends, THESE ARE THE REAL DEAL. These charts proudly feature our mighty “DDC Hardware” typeface from top to bottom.

The EXACT same material and manufacturing processes as you’d see on a nameplate on a piece of Boeing machinery. Exactly the same. So proud of these. Already used mine twice today! Dang.
