Q: What measurement units are available on this straight edge, and how are they displayed?
A: The straight edge features both metric (1 mm intervals) and imperial (1/16 inch intervals) units on each side, with clear, permanent laser-etched graduations for easy and accurate readings.
Q: Where can this straight edge be effectively used?
A: Its suitable for a wide array of applications, including precision machining, workshop layouts, educational laboratories, engineering, construction, and carpentry tasks, thanks to its high accuracy and durable build.
Q: What is the benefit of the satin chrome plated finish and ground precision edge?
A: The satin chrome plating resists corrosion and glare, while the ground precision edge ensures high-accuracy measurements and consistent marking, even in demanding environments.
Q: When would you choose custom lengths for this straight edge?
A: Custom lengths are ideal when your measurement or application area falls outside standard options (300 mm, 600 mm, 1000 mm, 1500 mm), ensuring a perfect fit for specialized needs.
Q: What makes the markings long-lasting and easy to read?
A: Markings are laser-etched onto the stainless steel surface, providing permanent, high-contrast graduations that remain legible under regular use and cleaning.
