What happens here

Before ordering a custom poly cutting edge, it's crucial to accurately measure the existing plow blade. The correct technique involves starting from the left side of the blade and taking a continuous measurement all the way to the right side, noting the positions of all bolt holes. This is vital because the CNC cutting machines process measurements from left to right, and the bolt hole patterns may not be perfectly symmetrical or 'mirrored' if measured from opposite directions. An accurate, continuous measurement prevents errors that could lead to misalignment of the new poly blade's bolt holes.

Goal: Learn the correct method for measuring an existing snow plow blade to ensure the precise fit of a new custom poly cutting edge.

going to stick this one on our hey this is a good combo right our oldest Pusher on our newest loader why not do that that's the way the pols do it that and I'm half polish right so I'm going to definitely do that well you have to look good when you're pushing St that brand new paper so question for you will you show us exactly how to measure because there's a right way and a wrong way to measure make sure you follow these instructions will you show us exactly how to get this lined up so that guys can get the right measurements to you we will show you all right let's do it and then we'll get this installed all right this is going to be scary cuz what we're going to so truth behold we're going to find out how well Stanley can read me oh this is not good this I'm you guys got to understand I work in the dirt if I'm within 2 in I'm I call that pretty damn good I'm not a finished Carpenter but if I get it wrong I'm going to blame I'm going to blame her wait a bling her I have evidence on my phone the video that you sent me she she taught me how to do the right way to measure so we're going to teach you guys the right way to measure I didn't know you were crossy I didn't know you were crossy all right let's see you got the tape measure I got it all right let's show them how to do this Eric when we cut these and when we measure them we always start from and go left or right and then the reason we go left to right is it's the same way we cut them on our machine okay we start from the left side work to right end of it okay so you want to make sure that you do that because sometimes holes and on this one is in particular is that way they're not a mirrored image so if you go to right left it's going to be backwards so any and you don't you don't start you don't go to here then put the tape to here to here to here to there you just do one straight run you want you want it all the way across okay cuz if you're off a 16th of an inch on one hole it's going to throw it off and multiply it as it runs down the length of the blade okay so our first hole that's not good first hole here is 2 in second hole is 10 and 1/2 third hole is a 9 and a quarter and the third one is at 28 in with an overall blade length of 30 in so that's what we use to make his blades we have two 10 and 1/2 19 and 1/4 28 and a 30in blade WID all right so far it's looking pretty good pretty good so good yeah now you did say they're all the same so we're banking on that right with well with arctic that
