Line gauge Linex 1050M — 500 mm, Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN), grey

Line gauge Linex 1050M is a 500 mm measuring rule made from Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) in a neutral grey finish. The straightedge is 36 mm wide and 3 mm thick, with a bevel and a tracing edge to support accurate drawing, marking and measuring tasks. Supplied as a single piece, this Linex rule is intended for technical drawing, office layout work and school use where a rigid, stable measuring guide is required.

Advantages

The SAN construction provides good dimensional stability and scratch resistance while keeping the rule light and easy to handle. A bevelled edge allows ink pens and pencils to run close to the edge for crisp lines, and the dedicated tracing edge supports reproducible markings. The 500 mm length covers common drawing formats and layout tasks without being excessively long, and the 36 mm width gives a comfortable grip for steady guidance.

Suitable for

• Technical drawing and drafting
• Office measuring and layout
• School geometry and art classes
• Model making and hobby work requiring straight edges

How to use

Place the Linex 1050M line gauge on the work surface aligned with the measurement or line you need. Use the bevelled edge when drawing with pens or pencils to achieve a clean line close to the edge. Use the tracing edge for repeatable marking or when transferring lines with tracing paper. Apply gentle, even pressure to keep the straightedge steady and avoid slipping while measuring or drawing.

Usage recommendations

Store the rule flat to prevent warping and avoid exposure to high heat or solvents that can affect SAN. Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent if needed; do not use abrasive cleaners. For precision work, check alignment against a calibrated straightedge occasionally.
