Counting counter clipping

[Bartleby]

I preferred the look of the 2mm (on the Youtube video I saw). From the comments on the same video it looks like a lot of people like the 2.5mm.

 

[Mr Incredible]

Oh well, I ordered the 2.5mm, let's see how that comes out.

Have never clipped before.

I think I'm going to be busy for the next 50 years with my ASL set.

Mocking up some digital 1/2" and 5/8" counters and then clipping the corners, it appears the smaller counters look better with the 2mm corner and larger counters with the larger 2.5mm corners.

I guess it just comes down to aesthetics and personal preference.

EDIT: Managed to change the order to the 2mm after watching the video of the 2mm v 2.5mm comparison. The 1/2" counters with the 2.5mm corners looked a little bit too rounded for my liking, but the 5/8" counters were OK with the 2mm corners, maybe a little bit scant, but OK.

That way, when I use some of that herb for my bbq or other recipes, I take some ASL with me.

Doesn't the cellulose give you gas?

So, what size do people use, the 2.0 or 2.5m radius?

I use 2mm on 1/2” and 3mm on the 5/8”, but most use the 2.5 on all counters.

 

[olli]

Really - I did not need to know how much I did. Now onto Objective Schmidt.

I cut out and punched 2 sets of OP last night and bagged them up for transporting home.

SERIOUSLY??? 68 corners a minute??

I usually clip while watching dvds on my computer.

Seriously! How the hell do you think I have managed to clip over 300,000 counters in under 3 years..... oh and the impact of that is three ops one for trigger thumb- the one that moves the counter on the cutter and two carpul tunnel ops, one per wrist,

Again, I still don't have'em but I "researched" them.
IMHO 2.0mm is the better choice except if you like accentuated corners. I prefer to look more "square" rather than "round". If that's your style, too, then take 2.0mm.

Seriously, the man has fingers that makes Schwarzenegger's upper arms in his best years appear like quick matches...

I cook bbq with coal.

 

[DrDeath]

I use 2mm on 1/2” and 3mm on the 5/8”, but most use the 2.5 on all counters.

Olli can you post a pic of a 5/8" counter clipped using the 3mm please? Was going to go with the 2mm and 3mm respectively but I'm just concerned that the 3 might be too much for my liking- thanx in advance

 

[olli]

Pics will not let ad here , send me your email address and I will send s pic ok.

They’re unclipped. It is perhaps VASL’s greatest failing.

I beg to differ. Look at them closely.

 

[AZslim]

This thread one of the reasons I don't tell anybody I play this game.

 

[Loquitor]

Here is a video comparing the 2mm and the 2.5mm on 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch counters

That's the vid that convinced me the 2mm was the way to go.

The counters are pre clipped on VASL.

Your avitar is not clipped but I really like it!

 

[dpabrams77]

I used to clip counters, between runs to the well to fetch water.

Only heathens play with unclipped counters. If you're not going to clip them, you may as well store them in Plano too. :facepalm: -- jim
