If you need a dedicated, shop-ready length counter for wire, cordage, or similar materials, the Olympic Instruments 1420 is built for metric measurement only—meters and decimeters. It’s designed to help guide hard-to-measure materials in a controlled, straight-line path across the measuring wheel for consistent readings.

This model includes quickly interchangeable guide tubes with inside diameters of 6.3 mm and 25 mm, helping you match the guide to the material you’re running. Wear-prone areas use stainless and heat-treated steel, and the guiding components are designed for low friction and positive control during measuring.
For workflow convenience, the counter can add or subtract and resets to zero with a single turn of the knob. Note: if you need feet/inches, this model is specifically for metric measurements.
