Measuring ruler Gimex metal inox 50 cm MLPD (214.194)

Measuring ruler Gimex metal inox 50 cm MLPD is a stainless steel straightedge with a usable length of 50 cm, engineered for precise linear measurement and marking. The metal construction ensures rigidity and resistance to wear, making it suitable for workshop, construction and DIY tasks where accurate edge alignment and repeatable measurements are required. The inox finish provides corrosion resistance and a smooth surface that facilitates sliding along workpieces for marking and checking straightness.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction delivers long-term straightness and dimensional stability under normal workshop conditions. A smooth, corrosion-resistant surface reduces friction and prevents staining of measured materials. Compact 50 cm usable length balances portability and coverage, allowing measurements of medium-size components while fitting easily in tool rolls or on a workbench. The ruler is suitable for both measurement and as a guide for marking or scribing straight lines.

Suitable for

• Linear measurement of parts and materials in workshops
• Marking and scribing straight lines for cutting or machining
• Checking alignment and straightness of edges and surfaces
• Use as a reference edge or guide for light routing and trimming tasks

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel (inox)
• Usable length: 50 cm
• Form: straight metal ruler / straightedge
• Finish: smooth inox surface with corrosion resistance
• Primary functions: measuring, marking, alignment checking

How to use

Place the Gimex inox ruler flat against the edge or surface to be measured or marked, ensuring full contact along its length. Align the zero or reference point with the start of the measurement and read or mark at the required length. For marking, hold the ruler firmly to prevent movement and run a pencil, scribe or cutter along the edge. Use the ruler as a straight guide for light routing or cutting operations where a metal straightedge is appropriate. After use, clean any debris or marking residues from the surface and store in a dry place to maintain straightness and finish.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, verify the ruler’s straightness periodically and avoid heavy impact or bending forces. When marking or scribing hard materials, use steady pressure and support the workpiece to prevent slippage. Store the ruler flat or in a protected tool compartment to preserve its edge and surface.
