Veritas® Steel Straightedges
Shop accuracy begins with a benchmark straightedge as a surface reference.
These Canadian-made precision steel straightedges are ground flat over the entire
length on both edges, the 12" and 24" lengths to within 0.0010" and the 36"
length to within 0.0015". All have been stress relieved to remain true under temperature variation. Useful for checking whether
surfaces are flat or straight, they are 1-1/2" wide and easily stand
on edge unsupported, leaving both hands free for precise measurement or
tool adjustment. All have hang holes, allowing storage on a nail or hook. |

 A.
12" Steel Straightedge
At just over 1 lb and 1/4" thick, the 12" straightedge is a
handy size for checking things such as plane soles or water stones for
flatness. It is also a good choice anywhere a larger straightedge would
be unwieldy in use or would risk damaging the item being checked.

 B.
24" Steel Straightedge
An invaluable aid for machine set-up, the 24" straightedge is
a good size for setting up stationary machines such as planers and
jointers. At slightly more than 2 lb, it weighs enough to stay in
place while you make adjustments. 1/4" thick.
C. 36" Steel Straightedge
 Great
for long-bed jointer and larger machine set-up, the 36" straightedge
is a good master shop reference. Weighing a substantial 5-3/4 lb,
it is 3/8" thick. The linished sides give a textured surface
that makes the straightedge easier to grip with confidence.
D. Feeler Gauge Set
Typically used in combination with a flat reference tool such as a
straightedge or a surface plate, a feeler gauge is used as a variable
go/no-go gauge to determine how much a surface is out of true.
It is also handy when gauging precise offset measurements such as
when adjusting plunge stops, fences, or planer knives.
The fingers of a standard set are often too short; these 1/2"
wide by 5-1/2" long gauges are ideal, allowing you to reach into
a space and still see what you are doing. The extra length also lets
you use built-up combinations (e.g., 0.025" + 0.016") without
distortional error. From 0.001" to 0.025" (accurate to a
quarter thou!).
Polished tempered steel. |
