Can anyone tell me what the diamonds on a tape are referenced to? They don't seem to coincide with stud placement or refer to any metric measurement. TIA Dominick

A Google search will tell you considering this question has been asked here over and over and over and over...
Whats the point of having the newsgroup then? Haven't all topics been discussed at one time or another?
Only "tape trick" I know is not to switch them mid-project. Woodworking measurements are of the "cut the tenon to fit the mortise" variety, so absolute accuracy isn't as accurate as matching the mating piece . .
But there can be differences tape to tape that won't phase a house builder but will wreck havac on your woodworking.

Without the group, there would be nothing to find in Google.
