Over the last several years, I have purchased 2 different rulers from General Tools. There is an inscription that they are both made in the United States.
There is no creasing from this straight edge since it is as flexible as a metal straight edge can be. I find this ruler to be considerably more flexible than my other similar You will be able to do what you want with it. Model train building is what I do with it.
It is true. If the head of the cylinder is less than 6 inches wide, it will do a better job. If you check along the line of the cylinder, you will get less accurate results. A longer ruler is the better way to accomplish your goal unless you are dealing with a single cylinder motor. A ruler is an accurate straight edge, but it is not a precise instrument.

Models require me to use this ruler to measure and shape them. Checking to see if they are sized and dimensioned correctly is one of the ways I use it. In addition to checking tolerances with it, I also use it to measure accuracy. "This marking is incredibly easy to read even if you read it down to 1/100th". Four different scales can be found on the chart. As a traditional imperial ruler, you can use one side of this ruler as fractional inches of 32nds and 64ths since you can see every 1/8th of an inch as longer graduation marks. " If you look at the other side, you will see one tenth and one hundredth. It comes in imperial on both sides so engineers and machinists can use it. A satin finish and a high quality metal make this item attractive. With its horizontal axis tilted, the numbers appear to fade away, leaving only a ghosting effect that is still readable, almost like the ghost of a holographic effect. This is probably my favorite There is nothing I dislike about this ruler, and I haven't encountered a better one when compared with more expensive rulers in the $10 range. The range is between $20 and $30. 1/100th" of an inch is what I would like to measure with a triangular engineering ruler.
However, there is no metric system on this. There is nothing imperial about it. This ruler is described as "both a standard ruler and a metric ruler". There is no truth to this. This does not use the metric system. There is nothing imperial about it. But it is still a good idea - There were no stars to be removed since the stars were made. • It is 1/32 in thick, and just slightly above half an inch wide, making it perfect for small packs. On one side there are 10ths and 100ths inch adjustments (the description states 10 and $100 mm settings, which is incorrect. These do not include metric measurements). In addition, 1/32 inch and 1/64 inch intervals are printed on the other side. It does not have printed markings. Instead, it has etched markings. (Not just stamped) All edges have been ground down and all angles are at 90 degrees. This can be used to scrape quite effectively. - There should not be a blank space at the top and bottom of the It is the very edges of the markings that begin and end. In case you want a small steel ruler that features an imperial system, this is a great option. It should last for a long time. You can keep searching for metric if you want it. There will hopefully be an update to the description.
Even though I believe it is made in the USA, I was disappointed to discover it is made in India after asking about where it is made above and getting two answers that led me to believe it is made in the US. The reason I prefer American goods is that they are made in India.
They're well-made, great quality, and a great value. Prices will be higher and the names will be bigger, but the value will not be better. However, I read the description and was confused by the reference to "metric. ". This is not the fault of General Motors this is an issue held by Amazon. This was noted in a 2012 review. There would be plenty of time for this type of oversight to be addressed. As it is absolutely unacceptable that descriptions on Amazon are inaccurate and do not seem to be monitored or updated, I will make sure to read more closely before purchasing again. It is far faster and easier for me to come to a store where I can touch and feel it firsthand and know what I am buying before I buy it. The item will be of no cost to me and I will not return it, since I already had two of the wrong thing and did not need two more.
Having used this model for over 30 years, I am very familiar with it. While I have tried other phones, I've always gone back to my A 1216 model has also been used. This is the same thing except that it is 12 inches As a builder of aircraft, I use it a lot. These two models are all we use to teach students to build aircraft at the college where I teach.
It's been a long time since I've used these types of rules and I've always liked general. It seems to be a fairly precise rule on the whole. I like how finely etched the tick marks are. My newer General rule is much finer than my old General rule, so all of the lines are clearly separated. It does not like me that General is now using a steel that isn't as springy. In the new rule, there is no tendency for it to bend easily. As long as you never bend the rules, this isn't a problem. It does happen from time to time that I use a 12 inch ruler with one end bent to fit around an irregular shaped object. By using an old General rule, you can create a circle almost to the fullest extent and then return to the flat state. However, this new one does not do so. It's a shame since its flexibility is what made me purchase another one in the first place. Even so, it's still a nice product, but I wish the steel were stronger.
The picture makes it appear as if the glass is frosted but really it is not Surface finish that is glare-free. However, this rule is polished, or glare-prone, due to its stainless finish.
There is not a single negative point. Having a low price and being flexible There are tenths and one hundredths of a scale On one side, 1/100 in 32nds and on the other side, 1/100 in 32nds The other 64ths are on the right. Despite my disappointment, I will keep the item.
The 6 inch rule is a great little tool. The apron clip makes it very convenient for me to keep it on my shop apron. My sharpening stone is just the right size for this to be used on my plane iron to create a back bevel.
