Ruler Vorel 18530, PVC, 180 mm, 1 pc

Vorel 18530 is a compact 180 mm measuring ruler made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Supplied as a single piece, this straightedge is designed for short measurements, drawing lines and simple layout tasks in workshops, classrooms and at home. The PVC body provides lightweight handling and resistance to moisture and everyday wear, while the ruler’s dual-edge graduations allow reading in metric and imperial units.

Advantages

The PVC construction makes the ruler both lightweight and durable against common impacts and moisture exposure. Dual graduations in millimeters and inches on edges and surface enable straightforward switching between measurement systems without additional tools. A built-in 180 mm carpenter angle and an angle bracket feature support basic scribing and roofing layout work, increasing the ruler’s versatility for different tasks.

Suitable for

• Short linear measurements and marking in woodworking and DIY
• Drawing straight lines and guiding cutting or trimming
• School and classroom measurement tasks
• Basic roofing scribing and rafter layout where a small angle guide is required

Key specifications

• Material: polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
• Length: 180 mm
• Graduations: millimeters and inches on edges and surface
• Shape: straightedge with integrated 180 mm carpenter angle and angle bracket
• Quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Place the ruler along the edge or surface to be measured or marked, aligning the zero mark with the starting point. Use the metric or imperial graduations printed on the edges or surface to read the required value. For scribing or rafter layout, orient the integrated carpenter angle or angle bracket against the workpiece to transfer angles or mark cutting lines. Handle the ruler with steady pressure for accurate markings and avoid bending when measuring longer spans beyond its 180 mm length.

Usage recommendations

Store the ruler flat or hung to prevent warping; clean with a damp cloth and avoid exposure to harsh chemicals. For best accuracy, use the ruler only within its 180 mm length range and combine with larger straightedges or measuring tools for longer measurements or precision layout tasks.
