Title: Coded Cresting - Can you decipher it?
Post by: Swamp Yankee on December 25, 2011, 06:41:00 PM
I was making up a test set of fir bareshafts and decided to code their spine in the crest.  Yeah, it's easier to just write the spine on the shaft, but can you decipher the code?  Hint: it's an industry standard.

I'm thinking resistor coding. Don

40-45, 45-50, 50-55, 55-60

Or similar spine indicators

Should have known there were too many smart people on this forum.  Yup, it's the electronic standard color code used on resistors and other elecronic componants.  Easier to keep like test shafts together than having to find the reading glasses..
