Glassmakers use a tool called a pi divider for cane pick-ups and roll-ups. One end of the tool is the measurement of the circumference of a circle, and the other end is the measurement of the diameter. The length of the cane is equal to the circumference of the circle, which is divided by π to calculate the diameter of the glass needed to pick up the cane.
