Choose Your Tool - Wire Cut Consistency Protocol
The EECOL Wire Tools Suite provides a comprehensive collection of specialized calculators, estimators, and record-keeping tools designed to enhance precision, efficiency, and consistency in wire cutting operations for workshop professionals.
Maintaining mark consistency is critical for minimizing inventory chaos and ensuring the next user can easily perform a reliable cut. All cuts must be performed based on the starting position of the measured mark.
The current wire mark (e.g., 5m) is at the tip of the wire, aligned with the machine's zero point (Marking Reference: **At the Tip**).
Action: Cut the wire just **BEFORE** the next digit up.
Example: If you start at 5 and want 5 units, you cut right **before** the 6 mark. This ensures the 6 mark is now at the new tip for the next cut.
The current wire mark (e.g., 5m) is located 1 meter (or 1 foot) in from the tip (Marking Reference: **1 Meter In**).
Action: Cut the wire just **AFTER** the digit you are cutting at.
Example: If you start at 5 (1m in) and want 5 units, you cut right **after** the 5 mark. This leaves the 6 mark still 1 meter in from the new tip, maintaining consistency in the offset.
**Goal:** Use Scenario 1 whenever possible. If Scenario 2 is used, the next person **must** use the wire cut tool's 1-meter offset feature to properly estimate the desired length, as the mark will not be at the tip.
