What's the Length of the BD Laser Pick? Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

Hey I'm working on a model of an ice tool in my industrial design course and I'm having trouble getting a measurement that I can scale off of. And there are no shops around San Francisco that would carry a BD ice tool

Would someone be able to give me an accurate measurement from the center of the mounting hole to the tip of their BD Laser or Fusion pick?
Metric or SAE is cool

Thanks :D

In return I'll post pictures when the project is all done :D

5.7 inches on a used/filed pick.

Nice work.

How did you make your model? Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like your head and pick could have been lasered or Objet printed? The shaft and handle it's hard to tell since they are painted.
