Nice ruler, should last a long time
DJ•April 5, 2016
I debated getting the 18" ruler, but am glad I decided on this longer one. Markings are in 1/8 and 1/16 on the other side, just right for my needs. I'll use my 6" pocket one when I need smaller increments. This is nice and sturdy, accurate and handy.
It is now good to go

For the money you cannot beat this scale / straight edge. However, the scale was not calibrated properly. The printed graduations were right on. From one edge (the one with the hanging hole) the accuracy was also right on. If you check from the other end, the scale was approximately 1/32 two long. Since it was long, I was able to sand the scale down on my belt/disc sander using a miter gage to insure squareness. It is now good to go. Had it been two short, I would not have been able to correct the problem. I have several Starret products that I used as my control for measurement. All in all, I would buy this product again. But a word to Starret, you should fix this. The Starret name is associated with quality just not this time.
May need some tweaking, but otherwise pretty good
David A Smith•January 20, 2016
Granted, it's not the quality of a Starrett square, but it's not advertised to be. I bought three of these: 24, 36, and 48 inch. I tested them against a Starrett double square for accuracy. The 36 and 48-inch were very close (the lines on the rulers and the square lined up). The 24-inch square was about a 64th long. I used a disk sander to fix that in a couple of minutes.
The lines and numbers are only slightly etched into the metal, and time will tell how durable they are. For the money, though, I suppose I can afford to replace them. I set them on my table saw top to check how straight they are, and they seem to be adequately straight for my purposes.
I got these because none of my tape measures were accurate enough with inside measurements, particularly when I use an Incra miter gauge with the stop. I think these will work well for that.

OK as straight edge but not as ruler.
David P.•January 19, 2016
This is OK for several uses. I compared this to several other rulers. As a straight it was good but as a ruler it was not very accurate.
There were several dings on the corners. After filing off the dings, it looked good as a straight edge. I used a granite block and the cast iron top of my table saw and could not see any light under this straight edge, I have other stainless steel rulers that showed definite light when set against these references.
I compared the ruler markings against several other rulers. I did not compare from the end of this ruler because of the dings on the ends. Instead I compared from the 1" mark to the 19" mark. Over 18", this ruler was off by about 1/32". The other rulers that I have agreed perfectly.

Incredible Value

At the time of this writing, this product is $5.25. I use it as a straight edge to set up an industrial planer. The thickness is apps. 1/10 of an inch, so it is thin, yet sturdy. Very nice printing of numbers and measurements. As it is aluminum, I can set the outfeed fences of the planer, and rub them agains the HSS knives, without dulling or nicking the knife. In short, it was exactly what I was looking for and at a very good price, and from a quality manufacturer.
