Basic tension meter question
When I set the tension meter on the mesh and I am looking straight at the dial is the tension meter reading:
1. From left to right of the meter.
or
2. From behind to in front of the meter.
Thanks Troy

Re: Basic tension meter question behind and in front. In other words, parallel to your line of sight.

Re: Basic tension meter question It's hard to pop a newmann stretched mesh. I can pop a diamond chase mesh at 25 newtons, and warp the frame too.
