Ruler SOLA 500×30 mm steel — straightedge measuring ruler 500 mm length, 30 mm width

Steel ruler SOLA 500×30 mm is a straightedge measuring ruler with a length of 500 mm and a width of 30 mm, manufactured from hardened steel for stable linear measurements and marking. Designed for use in carpentry, metalworking and construction, this solid steel straightedge provides a firm reference edge for scribing, layout and verification tasks. The compact 500 mm length fits workshop benches and tool kits while the 30 mm width offers rigidity without excessive weight.

Advantages

The steel construction resists bending and abrasion during regular use, maintaining accuracy over time. Its straight, ground edge ensures consistent contact with workpieces for precise marking and measurement. The ruler’s dimensions make it convenient to carry and store while still offering a long enough reference for many workshop and site tasks. Compatibility with common marking and measurement workflows makes it suitable for professional and hobby use.

Suitable for

• Linear measurements and marking in carpentry and joinery
• Layout and scribing on sheet metal and profiles
• Verification of straightness and checking workpiece edges
• Use on workshop benches, assembly stations and construction sites

Key specifications

• Material: steel, hardened for wear resistance
• Length: 500 mm
• Width: 30 mm
• Edge type: straight, ground edge for precise contact
• Typical applications: measuring, marking, layout and straightedge checking

How to use

Place the SOLA 500×30 mm steel ruler along the surface or edge to be measured or marked with the ground edge seated firmly against the workpiece. Use a fine pencil, scribe or marker to transfer measurements directly from the ruler. For layout tasks, clamp or hold the ruler steadily to prevent movement while marking. When checking straightness, align the ruler along the reference surface and inspect for gaps or light passing under the edge.

Usage recommendations

Store the ruler flat or hung to avoid accidental bending; keep it clean and free of chips or burrs that could affect contact accuracy. For metalworking, use a scribe for marking and remove any sharp filings from the edge after use. Periodically inspect the ground edge for wear and replace the ruler if the straightness is compromised to maintain measurement accuracy.
