1500mm Workshop Rule 1500x40x5 With Chamfer, No Graduations - Metav IndustryLine

The combination of a 1,500 mm measuring length, ground special steel construction and a bevelled edge provides a stable, durable reference for large-format layout and machining; order the ruler via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our advisers for specification support.

Workshop ruler 1500 x 40 x 5 mm — ungraduated, bevelled edge (Metav IndustryLine)

Workshop ruler 1500 x 40 x 5 mm is a long, rigid straightedge for layout, marking and inspection of large components in metalworking and fabrication.

• 1,500 mm length for large components
• Ground special steel for stable reference
• Bevelled edge for precise edge alignment
• Ungraduated surface for custom marking

Reliable reference for large-format layout

The long 1,500 mm span makes this straightedge a practical choice when working on sizeable workpieces where a single reference line must be held over a long distance. Manufactured from ground special steel, the rail delivers consistent flatness and rigidity, reducing twist and sag during use. The bevelled edge provides a clear contact line for scribing and alignment against profiles, while the ungraduated format avoids misleading scale errors when a custom layout or partner gauge is preferred. This combination supports reproducible set-ups and lowers rework time in production.

Built to withstand the workshop environment

A ground finish on special steel improves wear resistance and provides a stable datum surface that resists minor knocks and abrasion in everyday use. The substantial mass — approximately 3 kg — contributes to stability when laying the rule across heavy components without the need for excessive clamping, making it suitable for welding fixtures, assembly benches and machine-shop benches. The construction is aimed at durability and service life rather than fragile laboratory use, so the straightedge maintains its reference quality under normal shop handling.

Clear advantages for marking and custom scales

The ungraduated surface transforms the rule into a versatile straightedge for scribing, cutting guides and template transfer. Without fixed divisions, the rail becomes the neutral reference for bespoke scales, master patterns or transferred zero lines, enabling one-off manufacturing tasks and jig construction with fewer compromises from printed graduations. The bevel aids visual alignment and gives a firm bearing for scribes and markers, helping to convert precise layout into accurate machine work.

Versatile applications across fabrication and maintenance

This workshop straightedge suits a range of tasks from layout in structural fabrication to machining set-ups, inspection of flatness on large plates and preparation of long workpieces for drilling or marking. As a robust, ungraduated reference, it complements calipers and micrometers when a continuous datum is required. The design supports both production environments and maintenance bays where dependable, repeatable referencing reduces cycle time and improves overall workflow.

FAQ

Is this ruler suitable for layout on large plates and profiles?
Yes. The workshop ruler 1500 x 40 x 5 mm provides a long, rigid reference edge designed for layout and marking on large plates, profiles and assemblies in fabrication and maintenance workshops.

Does the straightedge include any graduations for direct measurement?
No. The surface is ungraduated, which allows the ruler to be used as a neutral straightedge for custom marking, transfer of master lines and setting bespoke scales.

What material is the rule made from and why does that matter?
The rule is made from ground special steel, offering a wear-resistant, stable datum surface that keeps its flatness under normal workshop use and supports reproducible measurements.

Can this ruler be used as a saw or cutting guide?
Yes. The bevelled edge and flat, ground surface make the ruler suitable as a straight cutting or scribing guide, provided appropriate clamping is used for safety and accuracy.

How does the mass of the ruler affect handling during layout work?
At about 3 kg, the ruler’s mass helps keep it stable over larger workpieces, reducing the tendency to move during scribing or marking while still being manageable for single-person use in most shop situations.
