Architect Scale WEDO 5255101 aluminium silver color, precision triangular scale

WEDO Architect Scale 5255101 is an aluminium triangular precision scale in silver colour designed for accurate architectural and technical drawing. The compact three-faced profile provides several scale graduations to convert measurements and transfer dimensions quickly on paper or models. The rigid aluminium construction and clear etched markings make the scale suitable for repeated professional use in studios, workshops and on site.

Advantages

The aluminium body offers a lightweight but durable tool that resists warping and maintains straight edges for reliable measurements. Etched graduations ensure long-lasting legibility without ink wear. The triangular profile groups multiple common architectural scales on one instrument, reducing the need to switch tools and allowing fast conversion between scales. Its silver colour and slim form factor make it easy to handle and store in drawing kits or toolboxes.

Suitable for

• Architectural and technical drawing
• Scale conversion and dimension transfer
• Model making and mock-ups
• Engineering sketches and site measurements
• Student drafting and classroom use

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium body with etched graduations
• Profile: triangular (three faces with different scales)
• Finish: silver colour
• Markings: precision-etched scale graduations for durability
• Use: suitable for drawing, measuring and scale conversion

How to use

Place the triangular scale on the drawing surface with the face that corresponds to the required scale. Align the zero mark to the start point and read off the measurement at the end point directly from the etched graduations. For converting between scales, measure a length on one face and transfer that length using the corresponding face for the target scale. Clean the scale with a soft cloth after use to remove graphite or ink residue and avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the etched markings.

Usage recommendations

Store the aluminium scale flat or upright in a protective sleeve to prevent dents on the edges. Use light pressure when drawing along the edge to maintain straight lines and protect the etched graduations. For precise work, ensure the drawing surface is level and the scale is held firmly against reference points.
