Workshop ruler 500 x 40 x 5 — flat steel rule for robust workshop layout (Metav IndustryLine)

The Workshop ruler 500 x 40 x 5 is a flat steel rule designed for precise marking and measuring in metalworking, fabrication and general workshop use.

• 500 mm length for extended reach
• Ground special steel surface for durability
• Flat profile 40 x 5 mm for stable measurements
• No chamfer for full-length reference edge

Precision and a reliable reference edge for layout work

The flat, ground special steel construction offers a consistent, wear-resistant measuring surface that supports accurate marking and repeatable checks. With a full length of 500 mm and a profile of 40 x 5 mm, the rule provides a rigid reference that resists bending during hand-held use, which is essential when transferring lines across plates or setting out assemblies. The absence of a chamfer means the full edge can be used as a datum, simplifying tasks where a continuous reference is required. The combination of a ground finish and stable cross-section reduces edge wear and maintains measurement integrity over long service intervals.

Designed for dependable handling and workshop efficiency

The flat geometry and modest mass (approximately 0.8 kg) deliver a balance between heft for stability and manoeuvrability for frequent use. The 40 mm width increases contact area, improving lateral stability when scribing or checking straightness on components. Classified for large-format workshop measuring at the 500 mm range, this tool suits layout work on medium-sized parts, jigs and fixtures where a robust, easy-to-read reference rule speeds up production tasks. The ruled profile lends itself to repeatable marking and quick comparative measurements without the need for complex setups.

Built for durability and smooth integration into the workshop

A ground surface finish provides resistance to abrasion and straightforward cleaning after cutting or filing operations, extending service life and reducing downtime for maintenance. The robust build aligns with Metav’s approach to accessible precision: durable tools that suit both industrial environments and busy workshops. As a straightforward steel rule, it integrates seamlessly into standard layout kits and tool stations, offering a low-complexity solution for repeatable results and clear reference lines across common fabrication applications.
