Veritas Steel Straightedges

Product Description

Shop accuracy begins with a benchmark straightedge as a surface reference. These Canadian-made Veritas precision steel straightedges are ground flat over the entire length on both edges, the 24" lengths to within 0.0010" and the 36" length to within 0.0015". All have been stress relieved to remain true under temperature variation. Useful for checking whether surfaces are flat or straight, they are 1½" high and their width allows them to easily stand on edge unsupported, leaving both hands free for precise measurement or tool adjustment. All have hang holes, allowing storage on a nail or hook.

An invaluable aid for machine set-up, the 24" straightedge is a good size for setting up stationary machines such as planers and jointers. At slightly more than 2lb, it weighs enough to stay in place while you make adjustments. ¼" thick.

Great for long-bed jointer and larger machine set-up, the 36" straightedge is a good master shop reference. Weighing a substantial 5¾ lb, it is 3/8" thick. The linished sides give a textured surface that makes the straightedge easier to grip with confidence.
