Aluminum Straight Edge

Sometimes you need to have your work surface just right for your projects. Whether you're a woodworker, metal worker or hobbyist, when you need a flat work surface you simply just need it. Finding an economical tool to check for flatness used to be quite the challenge. Not anymore! Introducing the lightweight and easy to use Fulton Aluminum straight edge. Use the straight edge to properly check for flatness, so you can see if your work surface has any gaps, pits or any type of undulation that may catch, hook or slow down your material while feeding it through a blade, cutter or simply while working.

The bars measure 3/8" thick by 1¾" tall which is just the right size to stand upright unsupported so you can free up both hands to make adjustments to your tools or table tops. Each of the included 6 inch, 12 inch and 18 inch straight edge bars have a .001" tolerance.

Works with Machinery

One of the most common uses for straight edges is on larger machinery. Large machinery usually needs to be assembled and therefore needs to be checked for straightness and flatness. Over time, machines need to also be adjusted and checked again. Thats where these handy straight edges come in real handy.
