Product Information

Full details

The Jakar Acrylic Ruler 60cm is designed for professional designers, students, and hobbyists who require high-precision measurements and clean cutting lines. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-visibility transparent body with a rugged stainless steel cutting edge, which prevents nicks and ensures straight, accurate strokes. However, while the acrylic is durable, users should note that dropping it on hard surfaces may cause chipping or cracks compared to solid metal alternatives.

FAQs

Is the stainless steel edge sharp?

The edge is designed to be a flat, stable guide for a cutting tool, not a cutting edge itself. It is safe to handle.

Can I use this with a rotary cutter?

Yes, the stainless steel edge is specifically designed to resist damage from blades, making it compatible with rotary cutters and utility knives.

What is the material composition?

The ruler is made of durable, transparent acrylic with an inlaid stainless steel protective edge.

Does it have both metric and imperial measurements?

This specific model features centimeter and millimeter scales.

How should I store the ruler to prevent warping?

Store it either lying completely flat on a desk or hanging vertically. Avoid leaning it at an angle against a wall for long periods.

Troubleshooting

The ruler slides during cutting

Ensure you are using a non-slip cutting mat underneath your project to provide extra grip for both the paper and the ruler.

Markings appear difficult to read

Wipe the surface with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust or accumulated debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-contrast markings for easy reading
  • Reinforced steel edge prevents damage from craft knives
  • Transparent design allows for accurate alignment
  • Lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue
  • Convenient built-in hanging hole

Cons

  • Acrylic can be prone to cracking if dropped
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty industrial metal work
  • Markings may eventually fade if cleaned with harsh solvents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no setup required for this tool; it is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. To ensure the longevity of your Jakar ruler, clean it periodically with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid using acetone, alcohol, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can cloud the acrylic or wear away the printed measurement markings. When not in use, store the ruler flat on a level surface or hang it via the integrated hole away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to warp over time.
