Product Information
Full details
The Neel Blue Triangular Scale Ruler is a professional-grade precision drafting tool designed for architects, engineers, and students who require reliable measurements for blueprints and technical drawings. This 30cm ruler features six distinct metric reduction scales, allowing for rapid and accurate scaling without the need for manual calculations. While its anodised aluminium construction offers excellent durability, users should be mindful that the metallic edges can be sharp if handled carelessly, and the tool is not intended for use with cutting blades.

FAQs
Does this ruler include imperial measurements?
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for metric reduction scales.
Can I use this as a cutting guide with a craft knife?
No, using this ruler as a cutting guide will damage the metal edges and potentially ruin the precision of your measurements.
Is the ruler heavy to carry?
The ruler weighs only 100g, making it very easy to carry in a standard pencil case or laptop bag.
Will the markings wear off over time?
No, because the markings are laser-etched into the anodised aluminium, they are permanent and will not fade or rub off like printed markings.
What is the total length of the ruler?
The ruler is 30cm long, which is equivalent to standard 12-inch drafting rulers.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty identifying the correct scale side
Hold the ruler vertically against a light source to check the scale labels located at the ends of each face.
Surface markings appear dull or dirty
Wipe the surface gently with a slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove accumulated graphite dust.

- Store in a flat drawer or a protective drafting tube to prevent bending or surface scratches on the edges.
