Mitutoyo182-101, Steel Rule, 6" (4R), (1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64"), 3/64" Thick X 3/4" Wide, Satin Chrome Finish Tempered Stainless Steel, Clear

Mitutoyo is top of the line for measuring. I always use the 6in when I'm working.

Extremely handy in my line of work

After close examination appears to be as good as Starrett rule I have. Less $.

great product, rivals starrett but less expensive

Accurate marks. Not an accurate Made In America stamp. Multiple images on the listing show it's made in America. When in fact it's stamped as made in Japan. There is a Mitutoyo factory in the US so I was hoping it was made there. Oh well just nitpicking.

i use this every day of work

I was looking for a wider machinist's style ruler about this size, so here I go. I wish it was maybe 8 inches and 1 inch wide, with mm on one side, but this is what I could find.

I lost my old 6" metal ruler that I kept handy on my table saw fence. It was of English manufacture and except for half the edges that were wasted on metric scales (useless in US woodworking) I felt it was adequate. I found the Mitutoyo 182-101 with only imperial graduations and am now aware of what I had been missing. The thin, crisp markings and satin finish make the Mitutoyo so easy to read. The inch numerals are clear and read left to right and right to left. The fractional scales are so precise that two of the engraved lines will easily fit between the marks on the 1/64" scale. Most of the time the 64ths scale is almost a blur on lesser makes. The edge machining presents a ground square surface and makes a precise pencil or knife line yet still feels comfortable to the hand with an almost undetectable yet adequate easing of the corners. I have other Mitutoyo products, all durable and precise, this ruler did not disappoint.
