05N0511 - Veritas 6"/150mm Aluminum Bench Rule


Shaped much like a classic school ruler, this relatively narrow rule is lightweight and easy to handle, making it an ideal choice for precise drawing and design tasks.
With fine laser-etched markings that stand out clearly against the matte black anodized finish, it is graduated in 1/32" increments on one edge and in millimetres on the other. Both edges read left to right.
Cut from a solid aluminum extrusion, this 6"/150mm rule is 1" wide. To avoid parallax errors, the edges are tapered and lie within 0.01" of the stock surface, supported by small raised feet set back from each edge. This clearance ensures markings will not be smudged by the rule.
An excellent tool for layout and design work. Made in Canada.
The rules are available in Imperial sizes and metric sizes, as well as other combined versions with both scales, sold individually as well as in sets.
