Q: How do I read the markings on this rule?
Each edge reads its millimeter scale in the opposite direction from the other, so a full meter of layout work never needs the rule turned around.
05N0426 - Veritas 1m Shop Rule
Stable, rigid and reliable, this 1m rule excels at measurement and layout tasks.
Cut from a 2 1/2" wide solid aluminum extrusion, it has fine laser-etched markings that stand out clearly against the matte black anodized finish. Graduated in millimeters, one edge reads right to left and the other left to right.
To avoid the parallax errors that can occur when marking, the edges are tapered and lie within 0.01" of the stock surface, supported by “feet” set back from each edge. This clearance ensures markings will not be smudged by the rule, and that the rule registers close to each edge.
The broad profile makes it easy to plant a hand comfortably, while the protruding ribs ensure a slip-free mechanical lock with the rule stop (sold separately). The rule also butts nicely against a fence for setting blade offsets, and is wide enough to provide a vertical register in use.
Also available in a range of other metric and Imperial sizes, as well as in combined versions with both scales, sold individually as well as in various sets.
A rule you will reach for often!

Yes, the protruding ribs on the edge lock securely with a Veritas Rule Stop, which is useful for repeating the same measurement across full sheet goods.
The tapered edges keep the Veritas 1m shop rule within 0.01" of the work surface, so your marking knife or pencil registers accurately across long panels without the rule lifting a line out of true.
It's machined from a solid aluminum extrusion with a matte black anodized finish.
