Folding ruler STABILA 01328 Beech 2 m, metric cm/mm, 17 mm width

Folding ruler STABILA 01328 Beech 2 m, metric cm/mm, 17 mm width is a wooden folding rule made from beech with a total unfolded length of 2 metres. The scale uses the metric system with centimeter and millimetre graduations and a 17 mm wide blade. The tool features a printed angle schema for quick marking of common angles such as 45° and 60°, and is designed for accurate linear measurement tasks in carpentry, construction and DIY where a rigid, foldable measuring instrument is required.

Advantages

The STABILA 01328 combines a stable beechwood blade with maintenance-free polyamide joints reinforced with fibreglass for reliable locking and smooth folding action. The clear centimeter and millimetre markings support precise readings while the 17 mm width provides good visibility and handling. Materials are sourced from sustainably managed forests (PEFC), and the lightweight construction makes the ruler easy to carry on site or in the workshop.

Suitable for

• Carpentry layout, marking and checking straightness
• On-site construction measurements and transfer of dimensions
• DIY projects and furniture assembly where foldable rigid measuring is needed
• Transferring and marking common angles directly using the integrated angle schema

Key specifications

• Total length (unfolded): 2 m
• Measurement system: metric (cm and mm)
• Blade material: beech wood
• Blade width: 17 mm
• Joint strength (thickness): 3.3 mm
• Joints: polyamide reinforced with fibreglass (maintenance-free)
• Angle schema printed on the blade for quick 45° and 60° marking
• Sustainable wood source: PEFC-certified

How to use

Unfold the ruler to the required length and lock the joints by pressing until the polyamide hinges engage. Read measurements from the centimeter and millimetre graduations along the blade. To transfer common angles, align the printed angle schema with the edge or reference line on your workpiece and mark the required angle. Fold the rule for compact storage and transport; the maintenance-free joints require no additional lubrication.

Usage recommendations

Handle the beechwood blade carefully to avoid strong impacts or prolonged exposure to moisture which can affect accuracy. For stable measurements on uneven surfaces, support the ruler along its length. Store folded in a dry place and avoid excessive bending beyond the designed joint angles to preserve joint function.
