Product Information

Full details

The Linex Aluminium Cutting Ruler is an essential precision tool for professional crafters, graphic designers, and DIY enthusiasts who require clean, straight edges for paper or fabric projects. Its primary benefit is the combination of a sharp, safe cutting edge and a non-slip backing that prevents accidental shifts during high-stakes cuts, though the 30cm length may be limiting for large-format architectural or print projects.

FAQs

Is this ruler safe for children?

While the cutting edge provides protection, it is still a tool for cutting and should only be used by minors under adult supervision.

Can I use this with a metal rotary cutter?

Yes, it is designed to withstand standard craft knives and rotary cutters, though constant contact with blades may wear the edge over time.

What is the material composition?

The ruler is made from durable aluminium, which provides a balance of low weight and high rigidity.

Does it have a metric and imperial scale?

This specific model features metric measurements (cm and mm).

Where is this ruler manufactured?

This Linex product is manufactured in Denmark.

Troubleshooting

The ruler slides during heavy pressure.

Clean the rubber backing with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and oil, which restores its natural grip.

Measurements appear slightly off.

Ensure the ruler is lying perfectly flat and that you are viewing the markings directly from above to avoid parallax error.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This ruler is ready for immediate use straight out of the packaging. To ensure its longevity and performance, follow these guidelines:

  1. Storage: Store the ruler flat in a drawer or hung by a small hole if available; avoid placing heavy objects on top of it to prevent warping.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or stray adhesive. If necessary, use a mild glass cleaner to wipe away ink marks, but dry it immediately to preserve the grip strip.
  3. Care: Avoid using the ruler as a guide for heavy-duty metal saws or power tools, as this can degrade the precision of the aluminium edge.
  4. Compatibility: Compatible with standard utility knives, scalpels, and fineliner markers. Not intended for use with heated cutting tools.
