Folding wooden measuring rule MODECO MN-80-150, 2 m length

Folding wooden measuring rule MODECO MN-80-150, 2 m length is a traditional carpentry and construction tool designed for straight-line measurement and layout. The rule consists of rigid wooden segments connected by metal hinge joints that fold for compact storage and transport and unfold to provide a continuous 2-metre measuring length. The surface carries standard metric graduations printed for repeated use on-site and in workshop environments.

Advantages

The wooden folding construction combines dimensional stability with a lightweight profile, while metal hinges ensure repeatable alignment of segments when extended. The printed metric scale offers clear readability and the foldable design reduces risk of damage during transport. The rule provides a straight reference edge useful for marking, aligning and checking workpieces.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery layout and marking
• Construction site measurements and quick checks
• DIY projects, furniture assembly and repair work
• Workshop use where a rigid, non-flexible measure is required

Key specifications

• Total measuring length: 2 metres when fully extended
• Material: wooden measuring segments
• Joint type: metal hinge connections for folding and locking alignment
• Graduation system: metric scale with printed graduations
• Portable folded length: multiple segments folded to compact size for transport

How to use

Unfold the wooden segments along the hinge joints until the rule is fully extended and the segments align to form a continuous straight edge. Place the zero end at the reference point and read the metric graduations at the required position to obtain measurements. Use the rule as a straightedge to mark cutting or drilling lines by running a pencil along the edge. After use, fold the segments back together along the hinges for compact storage and to protect the scale markings.

Usage recommendations

To preserve accuracy and prolong service life, keep the wooden surface dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight. Clean the printed graduations gently with a soft, dry cloth and operate hinge joints without forcing to avoid wear. For precise work, place the measure on a stable surface and ensure segments are fully aligned before taking readings.
