Workshop straight edge M214.726 — 1,500 mm precision-ground special steel

The Workshop straight edge M214.726 is a heavy-duty 1,500 mm rule for layout, machine-tool set-up and large-format inspection work, supplied without graduations and finished with a bevelled edge for clean marking.

• Precision-ground surface for true flatness
• 1,500 mm length for large-format layout
• Bevelled edge for clean scribing
• Robust special steel, ground finish

Consistent flatness that reduces rework and inspection time

A precision-ground reference bar delivers a reliably flat datum along its entire length, and the precision-ground special steel finish minimises local deviations that cause measurement scatter. In practice, the long, straight reference provided by this workshop rule shortens inspection cycles and reduces rework: fewer alignment checks are required when a stable datum is available. The material choice and grinding process contribute directly to reproducible results in layout, jig setting and component inspection.

Stiff, usable dimensions for larger assembly and layout tasks

At 1,500 mm overall length and a cross-section of 40 x 5 mm, the rule balances reach with rigidity so larger components can be measured or scribed without excessive flex. The straight edge’s mass and profile ensure stable placement on flat surfaces and fixtures; the specified weight of 3 kg helps the bar sit firmly while remaining manageable for single-person handling. This combination of reach and stiffness improves workflow efficiency in metalworking shops and toolrooms where larger-format parts are common.

Edge geometry and finish tuned for precise marking and longevity

The bevelled edge provides a fine, repeatable contact line for scribing and checking straightness, while the smooth ground finish prevents burrs that could interfere with a pencil or scribe. Supplied without graduations, the rule acts as a pure reference rather than a measurement scale, which is advantageous for transfer scribing and for use as a datum when numerical readings are not required. The ground special steel surface resists wear under normal workshop use and supports consistent marking over time.

FAQ

What level of flatness can be expected from this straight edge?
The Workshop straight edge M214.726 is precision-ground to provide a true reference line suitable for layout and inspection tasks where stable flatness along 1,500 mm is required.

Is this rule suitable for scribing and marking operations?
Yes; the bevelled edge of the M214.726 is specifically intended to give a fine, repeatable contact line for scribing and transfer marking in the workshop.

Can the straight edge be used as a measurement scale?
The product is supplied without graduations, so it functions as a datum and layout reference rather than a graduated measuring instrument.

What material is used and how does it affect durability?
Constructed from precision-ground special steel, the tool offers a hard, wear-resistant surface that maintains a consistent contact line under normal workshop use.

Is the workshop straight edge M214.726 suitable for machine-tool setup?
Yes; the combination of 1,500 mm reach and a rigid profile makes the M214.726 appropriate for machine-tool set-up, alignment and large-part inspection.
