Beam tools include machines that cut circles, measure radius, computer mapping tools, and garden tools designed to stay parallel to the radius bone for increased force.
There are a number of tools called beam tools. Some of the more common tools referred to by this name are machines that cut circle shapes and tools that measure the radius of circles. Technological advances have also created computer mapping tools that can locate shops or landmarks within a given radius, and computer programs that users can access from remote locations. There are also garden tools that are ergonomically designed to stay parallel to the radius arm bone which are called radius tools.
In machinery, a radius tool, also called a radius cutting tool or ball and radius turning tool, is a piece of equipment used to cut circles or circular shapes. By rotating a cutting blade around a fixed axis, the radial cutting tool can create curves in a variety of materials, including wood, brass, plastic, and steel. There are also handheld beam tools that look like a compass with a cutting blade at one end; these are often used for inlay work.
To measure the radius of circles, a different type of radius tool is available. The digital radius caliper can be used to measure the radius of an incomplete circle using the principles of geometry. The computer within this tool is capable of calculating the circumference of a circle, even when only a portion of that circle is accessible or present. The circumference can then be used to determine the radius.
In computer map programs, a radius tool is often included as part of the search engine. To narrow search results, a person can choose to search for business types only within a certain radius of a specific location. This is also used in global positioning systems (GPS) to locate things within a certain radius of a person’s current location.
Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a computer program that uses another type of radius tool. Internet service providers use RADIUS to authenticate users who access the service by dialing. You can use a RADIUS test tool to monitor certain aspects of your RADIUS system, including whether or not the system is working.
Radius garden tools are a recent development in ergonomic design. In these tools, the word radius refers to one of the two forearm bones. These tools are designed to be held so that the blade of the tool is positioned parallel to the radius bone, which places the wrist in a neutral position and increases the amount of force that can be applied to the tool.
