Alumicolor - Select-a-Scales
Select-a-Scales
Six precision scales in one rotating architectural tool
Drafting with multiple scales typically means juggling separate rulers across your work surface. This tool consolidates six scales into one compact unit through a rotating rod mechanism that displays your selected scale on the front face. Turn the rod, lock in the scale you need, and continue working without switching tools or searching through drawers.
Extruded aluminum construction provides the dimensional stability drafting demands, while photo-anodized calibrations resist wear from repeated use and eraser friction. The sculptured arch on the bottom elevates the ruler slightly, allowing smooth movement across drawings without smudging graphite or ink lines. A raised inking edge on top prevents ink from wicking under the ruler during technical pen work.
Architects and engineers appreciate the space-saving design when working at crowded drafting tables or moving between job sites. All six scales remain instantly accessible without the bulk of carrying multiple rulers. The rotating mechanism locks securely enough to maintain scale selection during active drafting while turning easily when you need to switch. This consolidation proves particularly valuable during complex projects that require frequent scale changes across different drawing components or when working with limited desk space.
