Abstract

A magnetic-electronic linear measurement gage for measuring workpiece miter lengths for picture and window frames and the like includes a gage bed on which a workpiece may be removably mounted, a stop body slidably mounted on the gage bed having a stop which may butt against a workpiece mitered end, and length and width scales and scanning units associated with the gage and the stop body generating output signals in response to the scanning of the scales. The output signals are received and converted by a CPU to generate a linear measure output signal which may be inputted to a digital LED display for visually displaying the linear measure corresponding to the workpiece length so measured.
