Relevant Lance families
T-Squares
T-squares establish a straight reference across a drawing or work surface. Choose among Lance T-squares by construction, head, blade length, blade width, and duty.
Compare the family →Drafting Triangle RulersDrafting triangles provide fixed angle systems for layout and drawing. Choose the 30°/60°/90° or 45°/45°/90° geometry, then select the required size and template function.
Compare the family →Straight Edge RulersStraight edges support measuring, marking, drawing, cutting guidance, and layout. Choose by unit system, backing, calibrated edge, width, length, and working context.
Compare the family →Pattern Drafting Curve RulersPattern-drafting curves help develop controlled contours that a straight rule cannot produce. Choose by the type of contour and the curve geometry needed for the work.
Compare the family →L-Square RulersL-squares establish perpendicular layout and support pattern drafting. Choose full-scale or half-scale workflow and confirm both arm dimensions and unit system.
Compare the family →Specialty RulersSpecialty rulers solve defined measuring and layout jobs, including cuff marking, center finding, and agate or pica measurement. Start with the task, then choose the configuration.
Compare the family →Black Anodized Engraved RulersBlack engraved rules are selected by unit system, calibrated edge, reading direction, and length. Orientation should be chosen from the operator's working position.
