New Lee Valley Veritas 18″ Aluminum Bench Rule

Shaped much like a classic school ruler, this relatively narrow rule is lightweight and easy to handle, making it an ideal choice for precise drawing and design tasks.

The fine laser-etched markings stand out clearly against the matte black anodized finish, with one edge that reads right to left and the other left to right. All scales are graduated in 1/32″ increments.

Cut from a solid aluminum extrusion, this 18″ rule is 1 1/4″ wide. To avoid parallax errors, the edges are tapered and lie within 0.01″ of the stock surface, supported by small raised feet set back from each edge. This clearance ensures markings will not be smudged by the rule.

An excellent tool for layout and design work. Made in Canada.

The rules are available in other Imperial sizes and metric sizes, as well as in combined versions with both scales, sold individually as well as in sets.
