Workshop rule M214.704 — 800 x 40 x 5 mm, ground special steel (Metav IndustryLine)

The Workshop rule M214.704 is a durable straightedge intended for layout, inspection and machining support in general workshop and metalworking environments.

• 800 mm length for extended reach
• Ground special steel for stable straightness
• 40 mm width for secure guidance
• No chamfer for full-edge measuring

Consistent reference for layout and inspection

A long, rigid straightedge is the basis for reproducible layout and quick visual inspection. The 800 mm measuring length provides extra reach without sacrificing handling, while the ground special steel surface maintains a reliable straightness over time. In practice this means fewer rechecks during assembly or marking operations and a steady datum for scribing, aligning and checking flatness on medium-sized components.

Construction that reduces measurement uncertainty

The profile—40 mm wide and 5 mm thick—combines sufficient stiffness with manageable mass for single-person handling. The ground finish lowers surface irregularities that could affect contact, and the absence of a chamfer keeps the full edge available as a reference line. These design choices reduce operator-induced variation and support repeatable results during routine workshop tasks such as fixture set-up or part alignment.

Practical handling, durability and workshop integration

Made from special steel, ground, the straightedge stands up to knocks and abrasive workshop conditions while remaining serviceable for daily use. The geometry is suitable for guiding scribes, checking runout by eye and comparing against machine tables or component faces. Stored flat and cleaned after use, the tool sustains its performance; when integrated into a set of hand tools it becomes a go-to reference for both quick checks and more deliberate marking jobs.

Why this tool makes sense for professional shops

For workshops seeking a straightforward and durable reference edge, the combination of extended length and ground special-steel construction offers a cost-effective way to improve layout accuracy and decrease rework. The low-maintenance nature of the design keeps downtime to a minimum, while Metav IndustryLine distribution ensures availability from stock at the Emmerich site for reliable supply to industry and trade.
