Scor-Pal Measurements Chart (see xls attachment below)
I just love my scor-pal so much that I'm using it to make most of my 3-D objects these days. The only problem I had was doing the math (and double checking :rolleyes to convert the odd (1/8 and 1/16) measurements.
SOOOOOO.... I just created this little chart that allows me to quickly look up my score value and find the shift mark and the corresponding Scor-Pal score mark. I tried to be as accurate as possible, but I'm only human, so if you find a mistake, please let me know and I will correct it and make an updated version to share with you. I'm planning on keeping my chart in a page protector under my scor-pal for quick reference.
Please note: that most of the 11" measurements require the card stock to be turned 180 degrees before scoring (as noted on the table). Also if you are scoring the 11" marks that you need to turn your paper for, an assumption is made that you are working with a 12" length.
UPDATE: I have added a scor-pal measurements chart for the new scor-pal. The new scor-pal has a score line every 1/4".
Wonderful. Thank you so very much for sharing this file. Working with this type of files in my "real" job, I understand the undertaking and the time involved in something like this.

I just got my Scor-pal and still tinkering around w/ it---- what do u mean by " shift" on ur chart? Great chart - it must have taken u some time to do this - thanks for sharing!!!!!

Hi Christine,
When I say shift, I mean that the edge of the paper will "shift" to that mark and then you will score in the "score at" mark. Normally your paper sits nested in the corner of the scor-pal, but when you need to make an odd measurement it needs to shift from the corner to the correct mark.
For example:
Say your instructions called for you to score your paper at 2-3/16"
Shift your card stock to the 13/16" mark.
(estimate halfway between the 3/4" mark & the 7/8" mark, since there isn't a line at this mark).
Then score your paper at the 3" mark.
It's so difficult being math challengesd! I just read the instructions and opened the pdf file and it's all greek to me! I have the scor pal, but I would never attempt to figure anything out other than making a straight line.

When I first saw the measurement page I dismissed it because I thought it was too hard...then....I was working on something that needed me to think and I remembered your post. Now I'm printing it out to save for those tricky measurements. Thanks for taking the time to post it for everyone.
I finally bought mine yesterday. Why did I wait so long?!! Of course I was making a pizza box last night and could have really used your chart. Thank you for doing all that work. Most math in school is a waste as an adult with a calculator, except geometry. LOL
I am confused though now in reading the chart. I know you mean to shift the paper out of the corner, but I don't understand where these markings (15/16, 13/16, etc.) are. Last night I had taken my ruler and tried to mark which grooves were 3/16 or 1/4, etc. but ended up a little off when I made my box.

I just kind of eyeball it. There are marks for the eighths, so I just go in between them for the sixteenths. It's not a perfect science.
Thank you so much for doing this. I know that it is a GREAT chart to have...now I just need to figure how what all of it means???...I am so confused:rolleyes: . I read all of the post...still confused...I am a visual learner, and math was not...lets just say, my favorite subject!!
But thanks a bunch!!

{Thud.} This is fabulous! Diana should have this on the Scor-Pal website, easily accessible. It is -- whoops, make that "was" so difficult to figure out those odd measurements. Not anymore! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Just saw this post! I've had my ScorPal for awhile now and have used it on all cards because I cut my bases and need the fold-over scored. Math was never my strong point so this chart it now printed on heavy cardstock, encased is a page protecter and stored under my ScorPal for immediate access.
Well I have had mine for sometime now but a friend of mine is really
into do projects and wants to play with the Scor-Pal...I printed out
your sheet and for the life of me I cannot figure it out....I was never
good in math and measurements so please do not make fun of me! LOL
we tried it this afternoon and it isn't working....
We were trying the 1 1/16....one can someone explain it in terms that
a stupid person can get it??

Thanks in advance...
I'll try to explain
If you want to score at 1-1/16 or one inch and one-sixteenths
You will take your card stock which normally nests in the left corner of the scor-pal and shift (slide) the edge over to the 15/16" mark. There are no tick marks for sixteenths so you will just estimate the center between the 7/8" mark and the 1" mark (The 7/8" mark is the seventh tick mark from the left corner and the 1" mark is the eighth tick and has a score groove along it). Make sure that your card stock is still snug against the top of the scor-pal. Now you are ready to score at the 2" mark.
To check that you did indeed score at the 1-1/16" mark, slide your card stock back to the left corner and your score line should be just a little past the 1" score groove.
I hope this post helps explain the chart. If you are still having problems, please let me know.
