Replacement Cable for Straightedges
Braided Teflon-coated cable ensures smooth parallel bar glide for years
Parallel straightedges eventually need fresh cables, the original wears smooth from thousands of adjustments, or snaps after years of studio use. These replacement cables restore precise movement to your ruling system, whether you're rehabilitating a vintage drafting table or maintaining current equipment.
Braided metal construction provides the strength needed for consistent tension across the straightedge span, while Teflon coating ensures smooth gliding action through pulleys and along the track. This combination delivers the friction-free adjustment that makes parallel rules genuinely useful, no catching, no jerking, just controlled positioning wherever you need it. The coating also extends cable life by reducing metal-on-metal wear at contact points.
Cut-to-length coils adapt to various straightedge sizes, from compact portable units to full-width professional tables. Measure your existing cable before ordering to ensure proper fit and function. Installation requires basic mechanical aptitude and access to your straightedge's pulley system, but the process is straightforward for anyone comfortable with hand tools. Technical drafters and architects keep spare cables on hand to minimize downtime when the inevitable replacement becomes necessary.
