Eac h side of the rule has a 30° bevelled edge that allows you to make your pencil mark next to your required graduation without parallax error.

There is a small central recess down the whole length of the base to ensure there is minimal contact with your workpiece to guarantee it sits perfectly flat. Two grooves down the centre of the top of the rule seat your fingers perfectly so you can effortlessly move the rule into place.The rule has been precision CNC machined from a single piece of aircraft grade aluminium and the 1mm graduations are laser etched for complete accuracy. This material is used for its stability and the fact that it will remain true once it has been machined, as it keeps to extremely tight tolerances. The graduations are crisp and clear and can be read easily without straining your eyes. The rule has been beautifully finished by an electrochemical process called anodisation which increases its resistance to corrosion and wear while also making it very aesthetically pleasing.
