• Made of stress-relieved cast iron for maximum stability.
   
• Top and bottom faces are precision ground parallel and flat within 0.0001" per 12".
   
• Use for setting up and leveling machinery and equipment and for checking the flatness of surfaces.
   
• Also can be used for positioning work above and parallel to a surface.
• Checking cast Iron Car and truck heads , lathe beds or any other flat surface

 Storage Guidelines

  Clean and Dry: Ensure the straight edge is clean and dry before storing it. Any dirt, debris, or moisture can cause rust or damage.

  Protective Case: Use a protective case or sleeve specifically designed for the straight edge. Many precision straight edges come with such cases, which provide cushioning and protection from        environmental factors.

  Horizontal Storage: Store the straight edge horizontally on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it to prevent warping.

  Vertical Storage: If horizontal storage is not feasible, store the straight edge vertically in a protective case, ensuring it is secured and not leaning or subjected to pressure that could bend it.

  Controlled Environment: Store the straight edge in a controlled environment with stable temperature and humidity levels to prevent corrosion and deformation. Avoid areas with high humidity or temperature fluctuations.

  Avoid Magnets: Keep the straight edge away from magnets, as magnetic fields can affect its precision.

  Periodic Inspection: Regularly inspect the straight edge for any signs of damage or wear. Clean it periodically to remove any accumulated dust or debris.
