Amazon.com Product Description

Instead of squinting at that blur of lines along the edge of your old steel rule, the Incra 18-Inch Marking Rule Set, lets you mark precisely where you want with zero uncertainty and no eye strain. Incra has re-invented the steel rule by putting micro-fine holes at every scale position (every 1/16-inch and 1/32-inch) to instantly locate a sharp pencil or scribe exactly on target. Using a T-square this guide draws perfectly placed horizontal lines with dead-on accuracy, with guide slots that wrap around any edges.

Product Description

Cover any precision marking application with these three-piece marking rule sets. Each set includes one Marking Rule, one T-Rule and one Bend Rule in your choice of 6", 12" and 18" lengths. Each set includes a .5mm mechanical pencil

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What You Need, June 7, 2001

If you desire to elevate your measuring and marking skills, this handy set will do you right. If you're frustrated at trying to line up your measuring marks your're not alone. No more squinting at the edge of a ruler to see if you've got it right. Get it right each time with this set.

These precision marking rulers have precisely drilled guide slots to fit a marking tool such as a sharp pencil or scribe eliminating the uncertainty in your measurement. The included T-square allows one to scribe the measurement by moving the T-square along a straight edge. Perfect. The marking ruler is handy for making that perfect mark. The bend ruler is great for all those edge and end mesurements.

The rulers are made out of very thin stainless steel and if your not careful you can put a hard to straighten crimp in them.

Use them the first time and you won't want to go back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Rulers -- Super Accurate -- Super Flimsy..., December 31, 2001

These are the standards in my shop for accuracy. These rulers remove all doubt when measuring. Very thin laser-etched markings on very thin stainless steel with laser-cut marking slots for using a .5mm pencil. If you want accuracy and a "reference" point for other measuring tools in your shop, this is the one to go with.

But... make a rack for them and keep them off the floor... One crimp, and the accuracy is gone.

Still... they get 5 stars!

This review is from: Incra IRSET18 18-Inch Marking Rule Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have had the 18 inch t-rule for several years and it became a must-have the first time I used it. Many woodworkers do not realize that measuring and marking are the most important part of woodworking. The better your measuring and marking, the less waste and mistakes you will have. I have since bought several other Incra products and they are all dead accurate.

The smaller your project, the more important accuracy becomes. A small jewelry box with a 1/8 inch error will look worse than a 1/8 inch error on a large project.

The t-rule should be your very first measuring tool. Once you use it, you'll go back and get several of the other fine Incra products.

A word about service: The folks at Incra are wonderful and will help you any way they can. Fabulous product, helpful people who care....how can you beat that?
