Precision straightedge INOX 400 mm DIN 874/00 — hardened stainless steel, ground & lapped (Metav IndustryLine)

The Precision straightedge INOX 400 mm DIN 874/00 is a hardened stainless steel straightedge designed for workshop inspection, layout and comparative flatness checks across mechanical and toolroom applications.

• Hardened stainless-steel construction
• Ground and lapped reference surfaces
• Conforms to DIN 874/00 standard
• Ideal 400 mm length for bench inspection

A stable reference for repeatable inspection results

The straightedge serves as a reliable reference surface for visual and tactile flatness checks, alignment tasks and setup verification. Manufactured in stainless steel that is fully hardened, then ground and lapped, the tool resists wear and preserves its geometry under normal workshop use. Conformance to DIN 874/00 provides a standardised basis for comparative measurements, which simplifies acceptance criteria and reduces ambiguity during quality control.

Durability and measurement integrity reduce downtime

Because the material is fully hardened and the bearing faces are finely finished, the instrument maintains its nominal geometry over repeated use. The hardened substrate and precision finishing mean fewer re-grinds and longer intervals between servicing, supporting greater repeatability when checking straightness, squareness and reference edges. For machine shops and maintenance teams, this translates into fewer measurement-related delays and more predictable production throughput.

Practical format for everyday workshop tasks

The compact 400 mm length combines sufficient reach with convenient handling for bench inspection, layout work and small-assembly verification. The flat, lapped faces ensure clear contact for light-table checks or feeler-gauge comparison, while the robust finish simplifies cleaning and corrosion resistance in normal environments. Supplied as a ready-to-use inspection tool, the straightedge is suitable for use in toolrooms, maintenance departments and inspection benches where a hardened, stable rule is required.

FAQ

What accuracy standard does this straightedge meet?
The answer: The Precision straightedge INOX 400 mm DIN 874/00 is manufactured to the geometry specified by DIN 874/00, providing a standardised reference for routine flatness and alignment checks.

Can the straightedge be used directly on machine beds and guideways?
Yes. The straightedge’s hardened, ground and lapped faces make it suitable for comparative checks on bedways and guideways where a compact, rigid reference of 400 mm is appropriate.

How should the tool be maintained to preserve its reference surface?
Regular cleaning and storage in a dry environment are recommended; avoid coarse abrasives. The hardened and lapped finish resists wear, which helps retain the straightedge’s reference condition.

Is the straightedge suitable for workshop inspection and toolroom calibration?
The straightedge is intended for workshop inspection and layout tasks; for formal calibration procedures, consult Metav Werkzeuge for recommended calibration services and intervals.
