Helix Stainless Steel Rulers Description

Acid-etched graduations won't fade or wear away with repeated use, the markings are recessed into the stainless steel itself, ensuring the precision you need for technical drawing, drafting, and layout work remains consistent over years. Cork backing keeps these rulers firmly planted during measurement and cutting, eliminating the frustration of slippage that compromises accuracy. Dual scaling in sixteenths and millimeters accommodates both imperial and metric work without switching tools mid-project.

Stainless steel construction resists bending and warping, maintaining true straightness essential for clean ink lines and accurate knife cuts. The beveled edge lifts the ruler slightly off your work surface, preventing ink from bleeding underneath when ruling technical drawings or architectural plans. Available in three sizes to suit different applications: compact lengths for detail work and field sketches, longer rulers for full-page layouts and pattern making.

Whether you're scoring mat board, measuring canvas stretchers, or ruling perspective grids, these rulers deliver the durability and non-slip stability that production work demands. The combination of permanent graduations and cork backing means you can work with confidence, knowing your measurements stay accurate and your ruler stays put.
