Precision Quad-Ruled Pad

The TOPS 35081 Cross Section Pad provides eight squares per inch for detailed technical charting and drafting work. Its letter-size format suits engineers, surveyors and students who need fine grid resolution for hand-plotted data. Each pad contains 50 sheets bound with a glue-top construction for clean removal. The sturdy 27 point back cover supports writing on the go.

Non-Reproducible Rulings

Both sides of every sheet are printed with phantom blue ink that disappears during photocopying, leaving only the original marks. Heavy blue lines mark every inch while faint lines divide the intermediate squares. The 20 lb acid-free bond stock resists smudging and stands up to repeated erasing. This combination keeps finished drawings clean and archival.

Eight Squares Per Inch

The defining specification is the quad ruling density of eight squares per inch, which determines the drawing precision available. Buyers who require a coarser grid such as four squares per inch will find this pad too fine for their scale. Similarly, anyone needing plain, lined or isometric paper must choose a different format.

Questions about this item

How do I remove a sheet from the glue-top pad without tearing it?

Lift the sheet slowly from one corner; the glue-top construction releases cleanly so the 20 lb. bond paper stays intact.

What part of this pad will wear out first with daily use?

The 27 point back cover provides rigid support; the 50 sheets of acid-free 20 lb. bond are the consumable item that will need replacing.

Will the blue rulings show up when I photocopy a finished drawing?

No — the phantom non-smear blue ink is designed not to reproduce, so only your pencil or ink lines appear on the copy.
