Product Information

Full details

The Jakar 60cm stainless steel ruler is an essential tool for architects, engineers, artists, and students who require high-precision measurements for professional drafting and technical drawing. It provides a robust, anti-rust surface that remains perfectly flat for clean, accurate line work across larger projects. While it is built for long-term durability, users should be aware that the rigid metal edges can be sharp, requiring careful handling during use in busy workspaces.

FAQs

Is the ruler marked on both sides?

Yes, it features both metric and fractional imperial markings for versatility.

Can this ruler be used with cutting tools?

Yes, its stainless steel construction makes it durable enough to act as a straightedge for manual cutting.

How accurate are the markings?

The markings are etched for high-precision technical drawing and meet standard engineering requirements.

Does the ruler have a non-slip backing?

No, this model features a flat, plain stainless steel back.

What is the exact length of the ruler?

The ruler is 60cm long, which equates to approximately 24.5 inches.

Will the ruler rust if it gets wet?

It is made of anti-rust stainless steel, but should be wiped dry promptly to prevent water spots or oxidation.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty reading measurements in low light

Angle the ruler under a direct light source to create contrast between the etched markings and the stainless steel surface.

Ruler sliding during tracing

Apply gentle, even downward pressure across the center of the ruler. If slipping persists, consider adding a thin strip of adhesive rubber or cork to the underside.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, anti-rust stainless steel build

  • Perfectly flat surface for accurate tracing
  • High-contrast, easy-to-read etchings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This ruler requires no assembly or configuration; it is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. To maintain the precision of the etchings and the integrity of the edge, keep the ruler in a dedicated storage slot or flat on your desk. Avoid dropping the ruler on hard surfaces like concrete, as a bent corner can ruin the ruler's ability to lie flat against your drafting paper. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to remove pencil graphite or ink residue. If the ruler becomes damp, dry it immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the anti-rust finish.
