Grip length planner

Bonded and variable stacks don't have one thickness — they have a range, and a zone whose range crosses a grip boundary needs more than one grip length on the shelf. Enter your zones; get the dash numbers that cover them and a buy list with margin.

Uniform-thickness assumption across each zone's band, 15% margin, rounded up per line. Dash = max grip; usable range = max − 0.0500" to max.

Straddle zones: where a zone's thickness band crosses a grip boundary, grip must be selected per hole at install (grip gauge or measured stack), and the split between dash numbers is an estimate — that is exactly where worst-case margin matters.

Planning aid, not a certified design authority. Grip ranges assume dash = max grip with one-step coverage; the controlling drawing, spec, and grip gauge govern. See the Composi-Lok II family page for datasheet links.
