Overview:

The Metric 6" Steel Ruler (Part Number: 301ME) is a precision measuring tool used in sewing, embroidery, and industrial machining for accurate, small-scale measurements. This flexible stainless steel rule is a favorite among technicians and hobbyists for marking, drafting, and checking machine tolerances. Compact enough to carry in your shirt pocket yet precise enough for professional work, this ruler is an essential tool for anyone who values accuracy.

Function and Features:

The 301ME ruler is designed for portability and precision in technical environments. Whether you're measuring seam allowances, checking stitch spacing, or verifying machine tolerances, this ruler delivers reliable accuracy every time.

Dual Graduations - Metric and Imperial:

Features ultra-fine, etched black graduations with Metric (millimeters) on one edge and Imperial (1/16ths) on the other. No matter which measurement system your project requires, you're covered. The etched markings are permanent and won't wear off, even with frequent industrial use.

Sliding Pocket Clip with Depth Gauge:

The ruler includes a sliding pocket clip that serves dual purposes. First, it allows you to securely carry the ruler in your shirt pocket, keeping it always within reach. Second, the clip doubles as a depth gauge for measuring recessed areas or checking depths. This clever design feature adds versatility to an already useful tool.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction:

Made from polished stainless steel, this ruler is resistant to corrosion and wear. The markings remain legible even with frequent industrial use, and the polished finish resists rust and staining. This is a tool built to last through years of daily use.

Flexible Design for Versatility:

The 301ME model is a thin, flexible rule, making it easier to measure slightly curved surfaces or fit into tight spaces compared to rigid machinist rules. This flexibility is especially useful in sewing applications where you need to measure around curves or in confined areas of your machine.

Compact and Portable:

At just 6 inches long and ¼ inch wide, this ruler is perfectly sized for portability. Slip it into your shirt pocket, tool pouch, or sewing kit and take it anywhere. It's always ready when you need a quick, accurate measurement.
