Veritas Steel Straightedge 36"

Veritas steel straightedge, 36". Shop accuracy begins with a benchmark straightedge as a surface reference. These Canadian-made precision steel straightedges are ground flat over the entire length on both edges and stress relieved to remain true under temperature variation. Useful for checking whether surfaces are flat or straight, they are 1-1/2" high and their width allows them to stand on edge unsupported, leaving both hands free for precise measurement or tool adjustment. They have hang holes for storage on a nail or hook.

Flat to within 0.0015". Great for long-bed jointer and larger machine set-up, it is a good master shop reference. Weighing a substantial 5-3/4 lb (2.61 kg), it is 3/8" thick. The linished sides give a textured surface that makes the straightedge easier to grip with confidence.
