New Lee Valley Veritas 12″ Shop Rule

Stable, rigid and reliable, this 12″ rule excels at measurement and layout tasks.

Cut from a 2 1/2″ wide solid aluminum extrusion, it has fine laser-etched markings that stand out clearly against the matte black anodized finish. Graduated in 32nds, one edge reads right to left and the other left to right.

To avoid the parallax errors that can occur when marking, the edges are tapered and lie within 0.01″ of the stock surface, supported by “feet” set back from each edge. This clearance ensures markings will not be smudged by the rule, and that the rule registers close to each edge.

The broad profile makes it easy to plant a hand comfortably, while the protruding ribs ensure a slip-free mechanical lock. The rule also butts nicely against a fence for setting blade offsets, and is wide enough to provide a vertical register in use.

Also available in a range of other Imperial and metric sizes, as well as in combined versions with both scales, sold individually as well as in various sets.

A rule you will reach for often!
