Product Information

Full details

The Facom 300mm Stainless Steel Rule (DELA.1051.300) is an essential precision measuring tool designed for engineers, machinists, and woodworkers who require reliable dimensions for medium-sized projects. Its primary benefit lies in its dual-sided graduation system and anti-reflection surface, which ensures high readability and versatility in busy workshop environments, though users should note it is optimized for general marking and measuring rather than high-stakes metrology applications.

FAQs

What is the accuracy rating of this rule?

This rule meets Class II accuracy standards, which is suitable for professional engineering and workshop tasks.

Is this rule rust-proof?

It is highly corrosion-resistant due to the 18% chromium and 8% nickel content, but it should still be kept dry and clean to maintain its finish.

Does it have metric and imperial measurements?

This specific model features millimetre and half-millimetre graduations only.

Is the 300mm length the total length or the measuring range?

300mm represents the functional measuring range of the rule.

Can I use this rule for marking with a scribe?

Yes, the stainless steel construction is durable enough to withstand marking with standard workshop scribes.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty reading graduations in low light

Ensure the anti-reflection surface is free of oil film or dust by cleaning with an isopropyl alcohol wipe.

Rule feels slightly greasy or slippery

Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. If residue persists, use a mild degreaser and dry immediately to prevent spotting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability due to corrosion-resistant stainless steel
  • High-contrast, anti-glare finish improves reading accuracy
  • Dual-sided markings offer both standard and fine increments
  • Reliable Class II accuracy for professional use
  • Ideal length for everyday engineering applications

Cons

  • Not suitable for extreme-precision laboratory measurements
  • Stainless steel can be slippery on oily surfaces
  • 300mm length may be too short for large-scale construction work

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required; the rule is ready for immediate use. To maintain the accuracy and readability of the markings, wipe the rule with a dry, lint-free cloth after use to remove metal shavings, oil, or dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads, which could scratch the surface and degrade the anti-reflection treatment. If working in particularly corrosive environments, a light wipe with an anti-corrosion oil can further extend the lifespan of the steel. Store the rule in a dry location, ideally in a dedicated shadow board or tool pouch, to prevent the edges from nicking or bending.
