Folding ruler STABILA 600, wooden, 2 m length, 17 mm width, metric

STABILA 600 folding ruler is a 2 m wooden measuring tool with a 17 mm wide blade and metric scale. The ruler is made from painted hardwood with a white and yellow finish and folds into segments for compact storage. It provides a rigid straight edge for accurate linear measurements on workpieces, walls and installation fittings and is lightweight for easy transport to job sites or workshops.

Advantages

The folding construction allows quick extension to a full 2 m length and secure folding for compact storage. A 17 mm wide blade offers a stable measuring surface and improved readability of the metric graduations. Painted wood resists wear and presents clear contrast between the scale markings and the background. The joints are designed to maintain alignment of the segments to ensure straight-edge accuracy during measurement.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and woodworking measurements
• Interior installation and fitting tasks
• General workshop and DIY projects
• Field measurements where portability is required

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres when fully extended
• Material: painted hardwood
• Blade width: 17 mm
• Scale: metric graduations
• Finish: white and yellow painted surface
• Folding segments for compact storage

How to use

Unfold the ruler by extending the segments until they lock in a straight line, then position the blade against the object or surface to be measured. Read the metric graduations at the measurement point; for longer measurements align the ruler end with the start point and read at the required mark. To store, fold the segments back carefully to avoid pinching and keep the ruler in a dry place to prevent warping of the wood.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results keep the painted surface clean and free of heavy build-up. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight to maintain dimensional stability. When measuring over long distances, support the ruler as needed to maintain straightness across segments.
