FAQs

Is this ruler suitable for professional engineering work?

Yes, Facom tools are manufactured to high industrial standards suitable for professional engineering and machining environments.

Does it have imperial (inch) markings on the reverse side?

No, this specific model (DELA.1052.300) features metric markings only.

Will the markings fade over time?

The markings are designed for heavy use and are highly resistant to wear, though proper care will ensure they remain legible for years.

Is the ruler flexible?

This is a rigid ruler, which makes it ideal for straightedge applications and precise marking tasks where flex is undesirable.

How do I ensure the most accurate measurement?

Always align the zero mark precisely with your starting point and view the measurement directly from above to eliminate parallax error.

Troubleshooting

Measurements are difficult to read in dim light

Ensure the anti-reflection surface is clean and free of oil or dust buildup.

Edge has a minor nick

Use a fine-grit honing stone to gently deburr the edge, or replace the ruler if the nick interferes with the zero-start mark.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality stainless steel for long-term durability
  • Anti-reflection coating significantly reduces eye strain
  • Clear, easy-to-read metric graduations
  • Sturdy design prevents bending or warping during use

Cons

  • No imperial measurements included
  • Lacks a non-slip backing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool is ready to use immediately out of the box. No calibration or software setup is required. To maintain the accuracy and readability of your Facom ruler:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth after use. Avoid using abrasive pads that could scratch the anti-reflection coating.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry, temperate area. Avoid dropping the ruler on hard concrete floors, as the edges can dent, which affects measurement accuracy.
  3. Chemical Exposure: While stainless steel is resistant to many workshop chemicals, rinse with water and dry immediately if exposed to harsh acids or specialized industrial solvents.
