About this ruler

Drawing method — illustration.

Choose a length that fits your work

  1. Measure the longest uninterrupted line your job needs and check the depth/width of the supporting surface.
  2. Choose an available length that spans both marks and can remain supported. Check where the selected ruler’s calibrated scale begins and ends.
  3. Check width, thickness, units and reading direction before ordering—especially for a fixture or mounted installation. Ask Lance to confirm dimensions required for an exact fit.

Allow space to handle and store the ruler. Check shipping costs for your selected length.
