A 100ths line is pretty much just a white line. Graduation marks seem to be the same from one to the next. Unfortunately, this is the side of the scale I use the most, so returning it is not worthwhile. I will not use it because it will just collect dust in my tool chest. The stamped scale is also a little sharp along the edges.
It is easy to turn this white on black background into a banner. Made well, the dye and coloration appear to be reasonably resistant to wear, but I doubt Dykem would take it out. In my opinion, this is still a good choice.
Besides being easy to read, its accuracy is outstanding. It has a white on black contrast that makes it easy to read. There is only one improvement I can suggest removing the graduation lines, as I'm sure they will disappear with time.
This scale is nice, I like it. Working with this is part of my everyday routine. The stainless steel ones are difficult to read when compared to the wooden ones.
There are a lot of problems with laser marking.
