LANCE RULERS · 2001–2026 — THE ANNIVERSARY RANGE
THE TOOL WALL.
Shop straight edges, squares, curves and specialty rulers.
Family 01 — Straight edges
INCH · METRIC · BOTH · 6″–144″
The long, true line. Four rules from a shared zero — inch, metric, both on one tool, or cork-backed to grip the sheet.
Family 02 — T-squares
FIXED-HEAD RIGHT ANGLES
A fixed head and a straight blade: right angles you can pull against. Standard, heavy-duty, and stainless drafting — hung from the rail.
Family 03 — L-squares
TWO CALIBRATED LEGS
Two marked legs and a right-angle corner. Full scale for the cutting table, half scale for reduced pattern work.
Family 04 — Curves
FRENCH · HIP
For the lines a straight edge can’t draw. The French curve turns tight technical transitions; the hip curve sweeps long garment contours.
Family 05 — Triangles
30/60/90 · 45/45/90
Template triangles with fixed working angles — the two geometries drafting is built on.
Family 06 — Specialists
CUFF · CENTER · AGATE/PICA
Instruments built around one exact job: a ruler whose width is the cuff depth, a rule whose zero sits in the middle, and scales that count publication lines.
Family 07 — Black engraved
INCH · METRIC · BOTH
Black engraved rulers with top- or bottom-edge markings and a choice of reading directions.
