Questions & Answers

Do you have a flexible ruler or a sturdy ruler?

A Shinwa ruler is rigid or flexible, depending on its design. As you can see, it is rigid. Models made with flexible material are half as thick and half as wide as standard materials.

In addition to being printed, are the markings engraved or etched?

I am using the 300mn H-300 Having etched markings, the 101C can be identified.

Can bleach and metal polish be used to clean the markings?

My boyfriend has used acetone, metal polish, and scotch bright, and they might remove it, but I think metal polish and a little soft cloth should work fine

Can you tell me why this ruler is marked with a P65 warning?

There is a warning on the packaging that says "This tool may create wood dust or contain a toxin on California's Prop 65 list."

The Japanese and Chinese versions are slightly different from each other
4/5

This was the second one I ordered. The first one arrived slightly warped and wasn't able to lay flat. At the center, the ends would touch, but come to a 0 at each end. A second one was needed since the first one was only 1mm on each side. There's a difference between the new one and the old one. There was a first one that said Made in China on the packaging, and there was a second one that said Made in Japan on the packaging It had Shinwa written in English on the Made in Japan version, and Shinwa was written in katakana on the Made in China version. On closer inspection, you can see that the printing on the Japan version was slightly better, especially on the red numbers in large font. It did not have as smooth an edge as the Chinese version. The second thing to note is that at the 300mm mark they were about 0. 2mm off. When I lined them up at zero, they were 1mm apart. In this case, I don't care which is more accurate, as that kind of error is fine for what I am going to use it Each of these products are part of the Shinwa range. One of Shinwa's factory is based in Japan and two are in China. I may have gotten a bad one, but I found the Chinese version to be less satisfying than the Japanese one. The version I received from Made in Japan is very good the slightly warped version I received from China was returned. Even though it's not as good as my Starrett, it's a fraction of the price and well worth the money. It's a great value, even if I had a problem with the first one I received. I'd definitely buy Shinwa again.

The best tool on the market
5/5

I just want to throw this out there The vernier calipers enabled me to verify the measurements. Fun and silly at the same time. There are two notes to be read There is no need to worry about sharp edges. It is your feeling that you are measuring against rounded surfaces, which is essential for accurate measurements. You might want a comfortable, yet sort of stylish couch to relax in You should use an accurate ruler. Don't buy a machine gun There is no scientific basis for using the term "Zero Glare", as it simply refers to a Essentially, it's fully functional, but it holds oil, so you have to scrub your fingers every time you touch it (that's a joke-metal work makes it impossible to keep clean hands), otherwise it will stop looking new after a few months. The ruler is just as clear after all, with fingerprints on it, but, again, if you want a pristine shiny ruler, don't purchase it. In conclusion, it is an essential tool that has been executed well. It is my dream to have scales at the Approximately 5 mm) without flipping and rotating it around an It can be used to convert imperial measures into adult metric measures using the conversion chart on the reverse.

It is a great choice for metric rulers made of metal
5/5

A laser cutting/engraving application that uses metric units is what I am using. The metric ruler I used was very reliable and was just what I needed. I used it to ensure my dimensions were accurate. There are clear numbers scale markings and they are easy to understand. It is easy to measure objects from the very edge of the ruler since it has a 0 mm A series of useful metric to SAE conversion charts are engraved into the reverse side of the material. My recommendation is to strongly consider.

The shape is nice, but why are the corners I like how sturdy it is
4/5

As the ruler starts right from the edge, it is a good tool to use for precision measurements when you have to put it up against the object. I have to be honest. Rather than round one end, why not the other? What is the benefit of that? We should be able to measure from either end, so why not? A simpler method would have been to flatten the round end and measure in inches and millimeters. However, you didn't do so. What's the reason? Are we getting two rulers instead of one because you wanted to sell us two? The durability of this thing is great, but I had to take away a star because of that blasted, round In my opinion, it is just annoying.

The units I got feel well made and are made in Japan (at least it seems that way)
5/5

There are no mistakes on this rule. The markings are clear and easy to read. In addition to the 150mm lens, I also bought the 300mm lens. dedicate a lot of time to my RC hobby and the 150mm ruler in particular is indispensable to me. The official product photos here also indicate that it is made in China. I have seen some complaints, though the product itself is made in China In the photo I uploaded, both of the bags are Japanese. I have noted There is very likely to be an identical review on the 150mm ruler page because there is no reason Despite what some website proprietors think, I am not a.

There is nothing more accurate than a true In the United States, it is so difficult to find a pure metric ruler
5/5

Metric and imperial units are the minimum that should be used. There is nothing more to it than this, which is good for us. The United States is fortunate to have this in production and to have it sold. The last few times I've bought them, I've bought at least four or five. It is likely that one day the United States will stop being the sole holdout in the WORLD, and it will switch.

This ruler has metric measurements in high quality
5/5

Whenever I want to work with metrics, this is my go-to tool. Using a tape measure is useful when setting up the table saw fence, as well. On the back of the ruler is also all the metric to standard conversion information. I am very impressed with the quality of the Shinwa tools.

A stiffer material
5/5

A harder task. A longer one. Probably not the most practical for large gigs around the house, but it works well for smaller gigs. It is possible to get a 15cm rod for a similar price if 300mm is too long for you. You will likely find it easy to read and to calculate how much longer your screw needs to be because it is a metric ruler.
