Steel rule M214.184 — rigid stainless-steel rule, double-sided graduations (500 mm) — Metav IndustryLine

A steel rule, 500 x 30 x 1 mm, designed for precise workshop measurement, layout and marking with dual graduations for versatile use across metalworking and assembly tasks

• Rigid stainless-steel construction
• Dual-sided graduations: 1/2 mm & 1 mm
• 500 mm length, 30 x 1 mm profile
• Corrosion-resistant finish for longevity

Designed for reliable, repeatable workshop measurement

The rigid construction and stainless-steel material provide a stable reference for layout and inspection tasks, reducing flex and user-induced variation during use. At a 500 mm working length the rule bridges the practical gap between reach and stiffness, making it suitable for bench work and on-machine layout alike. The slim 30 x 1 mm profile keeps weight low while preserving a straight edge for scribing, and the lightweight design supports frequent handling without fatigue. This combination promotes consistent results and faster cycle times where simple, robust precision is required.

Faster marking and clearer readings with dual graduations

Two facing scales—1/2 mm on the top edge and 1 mm on the lower edge—allow selection of the most convenient resolution for the task. Fine positioning or incremental marking benefits from the half-millimetre scale, while coarse layout and rapid checks use the full-millimetre graduations. The clear, double-sided layout reduces steps in the workflow and minimises the need to swap tools, improving throughput on repetitive jobs and supporting efficient shopfloor routines. The visible gradations and straight edge simplify transfer of measurements to components and fixtures.

Built for longevity and low maintenance

Manufactured from stainless steel, the rule resists corrosion in workshop environments and maintains legibility of the scale over prolonged use. The rigid design resists bending during normal handling and under light clamping, which contributes to sustained accuracy over time and fewer tool replacements. A compact cross-section and a low mass (approx. 0.1 kg) make the rule easy to store and manoeuvre while remaining robust enough for day-to-day industrial tasks. The result is a maintenance-light measuring tool that supports continuous operation.

Certified sourcing and professional supply chain advantages

Sourced and distributed under the Metav IndustryLine umbrella, the rule benefits from Metav’s European quality filter and logistics from Emmerich. The product harmonises simple, workshop-focused design with dependable supply and traceability, making it a pragmatic choice for production workshops, tool rooms and maintenance teams. Metav’s broad catalogue and track record are designed to reduce procurement complexity and supply risks for industrial customers who need dependable measuring equipment on demand.
