Scb's Digital Perforation Gauge - Free Utility

Hello,

for the past few months I've been spending quite many late nights/early mornings building up an multi-platform digital perforation gauge (for my personal needs), and I'm happy to announce that version 1 is now out. You can access the online version here, or if you prefer to use an offline version then download this file and extract the zip-file contents on any folder you desire.



What makes this utility a bit different from existing alternatives is that (besides being free) it runs within your web browser. And as such basic features should function on any operating system and any device as long as you use a recent browser (Chrome, Firefox work ok, Microsofts Internet Explorer/Edge is bit quirky) and remember to specify correct settings. If you use an outdated browser (or don't set proper settings), then your mileage may vary.

Another major difference is that there's no 'auto-mode' (I might add it on later point, but at least for now I don't have need for it). This is simple 'point and click' type of tool, and the results it will provide are as accurate as the clicks you make. The manual mode provides both ups and downs compared to fully automated tools (for example I can start measuring on any perf I want, and do it for as many teeths as I want; the downside is that it takes a lot of clicking).

The utility gives you advice as you proceed from one step to another, there's also detailed help/manual as well as Youtube channel with some tutorial videos. Since this is a relatively simple tool for simple needs, I hope that reading/watching all these guides won't ever be necessary.

Since I wrote this utility entirely for my personal needs, I am not providing any official support for it. Same applies also for further functionality and new features. When and if I have the time, I may add support for automatic perf recognition (ie. just drop the stamp on the canvas, and it automatically measures perfs on all sides) as well as measuring perfs of round stamps; but at least for now neither of them is priority for me.

I'm not saying this is the best tool for the job, but hey, it does the job it was designed for, and it is free.

Anyway, have fun with this tool and let me know if you like/dislike it.
