Tpt life Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I think the only thing I might have expected is “lighter in the pocket” but never heard that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I got all three of the aluminum ones in the last batch (imperial) and love them. If I had an apron I'd put one in there. I can't really say that they work better or worse than any other method, but I find that I use them more than my other squares. If nothing else I feels it is easier to loosen and tighten them.

How are these different from a regular steel ruler? A regular ruler is available anytime, and without having to take out a second mortgage. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-dub Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I've been using these with my regular rules for many years. For 6" rules I have a few of these scattered around the shop stuck to magnets in the areas where I use them most. I used the Lee Valley rule to round out a few orders during free shipping throughout the years. Now I have one at the bench, the bandsaw, the tablesaw, etc. Wherever I am in the shop there is always a pencil, rule and a tape at hand so I don't have to carry them.

I noticed after I googled it. $40 is too pricey for me. The wait until June is a no bueno too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, I heard the next OTT will be magnifying glasses. The set will have 3 lenses with different levels of magnification. They will be available in November 2019. Each lense will cost $500, but the set will cost you $2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are all makin' fun of this, but I wish they'd make a ruler with bigger graduations for the 64ths. I mean those marks are just too close together. Spread 'em out a little bit like the 16ths are. Then a guy would have a chance to see them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark J Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 On a serious note that's not a bad idea, and I think I might have one of those in a box somewhere. Wonder if they would fit over safety glasses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 They kinda fit over my regular glasses. I get the biggest lens I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 I ordered one of those bridge city rulers and the triangular one is really nice. I think i like it better than the paloni except for not having the ruler stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 The little Starret combination square has served me well for probably the same sort of uses as the woodpeckers one. It's always close at hand, as well as larger ones, but I was left a number of them along with a bunch of other machinist stuff, so didn't have to pony up for them.
