I bought 3 of these EZ Look rules - they have a gun metal grey background and white graduation lines. They are the flexible 16R graduated type with 1/32" and 1/64" on one side and 1/50" and 1/100" on the other side. They are 6, 12 and 24 inches long - part numbers 1340-40, 1340-60, and 1340-95. I believe in his book, William Cumpiano talks about using his 6" rule with these graduations and says he can't find these anymore. The total with shipping was about $45. The longest rule was $26.50 by itself, so if you want just the 2 shorter rules it's pretty cheap. I'm not sure if this is the cheapest you can find these but I did a google search and Wholesale Tools was the best price I could find. Make sure to plug in the coupon code of "newcus" and it will give you 10% off your product total. If anyone knows the difference between all the different graduations on rulers (3R,4R,5R and 16R) please let me know. I couldn't find any info on this online and I was hoping one of the other graduations was millimeters and centimeters (for building Spanish guitars). |

now you just need one more, a 36" for locating bridges. the prices that your source offers are indeed good, but on ebay you can usually find starrett for similar money. |
