Alumicolor - Straight Edges with Center Finding Backs
Straight Edges with Center Finding Backs
Find centerpoints instantly with dual-sided calibrations on rigid aluminum edges
Aluminum construction eliminates the flex that throws off measurements when you're marking long cuts or ruling extended lines. These 36-inch straight edges maintain rigidity across their full length, ensuring your pencil or knife follows a true path without the wavering common to cheaper alternatives. Photo-anodized calibrations won't fade from repeated handling or solvent exposure, the markings are bonded into the metal surface, not printed on top where they can wear away.
The dual-sided design addresses different layout needs: standard inch and millimeter graduations on the front for conventional measuring, center-finding scales on the back for locating midpoints without calculation. Ultra-smooth edges guide cutting blades and ruling pens cleanly, while the 1/8-inch thickness provides enough height to prevent blades from riding over the edge during cuts. At 1 1/4 inches wide, these rulers offer substantial bearing surface that resists shifting during use.
Rigid aluminum handles the demands of mat cutting, drafting, and layout work where accuracy matters and repeated use is expected. The 36-inch length covers standard paper sizes and panel dimensions without requiring multiple measurements or repositioning.
