Questions & Answers
The Product information lists both "Stainless steel construction" and "Heavy-duty aluminum straight edge." Which metal is this ruler made out of?
Is this a cork backed ruler?
No, this ruler does not have a cork back. It is made of stainless steel.
Hello this is Nick. I have a question please if I can help me. Is this good for drawing w pencil. My other ruler from art store leaves those small smudges from markings of measurements as I moved it when I draw buildings or houses with perspective Ty
Hi . This ruler is made of stainless steel and has etched black graduations. This means the markings are engraved into the material, not printed on top, so they won't smudge when you move the ruler while drawing. It's designed to be durable and accurate, which should be helpful for perspective drawings of buildings and houses.
Is there a scale with 10th, 50th, and/or 100th of an inch available?
Will a pencil fit in the hole for tracing?
This ruler has a hanging hole for convenient storage. It is not designed for tracing with a pencil.
How wide is the ruler? Is it exactly 1 inch? The description says 2 1/8? but it is obviously wrong looking at the photo.
The assembled width of the ruler is 2.125 inches. This is equivalent to 2 1/8 inches.
This ruler is indeed 1" wide. It would not even make sense for a 6" long ruler to be 2-1/8" wide.
Does this have the decimal conversion on the back ?
Hello Trey- yes this rule does have decimal conversion on the back.
How wide is the ruler?
It is 1 1/4" wide and 18" long. I bought it to use as a straight edge to cut my Christmas fudge with. Does exactly what I wanted it for! Now instead of having all different sized pieces of fudge, they are all the same size!
Hi Jean, the width is 2.25in.
