Westcott - Metric Transparent Beveled Rulers
Measure and ink precise lines with dual-scale beveled edges
Beveled edges lift these rulers slightly off your paper, preventing ink from bleeding underneath when you rule lines. That small detail matters enormously for technical drawing and illustration work where crisp, clean edges define the quality of your linework. Westcott constructs these transparent rulers from durable acrylic one inch wide, combining metric millimeter scales with inch measurements divided into tenths. The dual scaling system eliminates constant conversion calculations when working across measurement standards or following international patterns and templates.
Transparency lets you see your work beneath the ruler while positioning, maintaining visual continuity with underlying sketches or previous marks. Sturdy construction resists flexing during use, ensuring straight edges stay straight even when applying firm pressure with ruling pens or technical markers. The beveled profile on both edges means you can work from either side without flipping the ruler, maintaining workflow efficiency during detailed drafting sessions. Architecture students, technical illustrators, and pattern makers appreciate rulers that combine practical measurement systems with ink-friendly design that protects finished work from the smudges and bleeds that ruin otherwise precise linework.
