Precision Stainless-Steel Ruler

The Acme United 10417 Westcott ruler is an 18-inch stainless-steel measuring tool built for accurate layout work. Its cork backing prevents slipping on paper or bench surfaces while protecting the workpiece from scratches. Permanent acid-etched graduations show 1/16-inch and 1/32-inch increments alongside metric markings for dual-system use.

Flexible Layout Companion

A drilled hook hole allows the ruler to hang within reach above a drafting table or workbench. The flexible metal body bends around curved or irregular objects so dimensions can be taken without removing the part from a fixture. Straight, true edges guide knives or scribes cleanly during cutting or marking operations.

For Detail-Oriented Makers

This rule suits engineers, drafters, model builders and hobbyists who need reliable graduations on a durable, non-slip straightedge. Buyers who require a rigid beam for machine setup or a longer reach than eighteen inches should look at something else.

Questions about this item

How much can the 18" stainless steel ruler flex before the cork backing loses grip?

The ruler is flexible enough to scale hard-to-measure items and the cork non-skid backing protects surfaces during use.

Does the etched 1/16 and 1/32 graduation markings wear off with daily office use?

Permanent acid-etched gradations and sharply delineated numerals resist wear from repeated measuring tasks.
