Woodworking Rules

Put Your County Fair Yardstick in a Museum Where it Belongs
We have several different graduation
layouts to meet your specific needs. Our most popular version has a left-to-right reading scale on one side and a centering scale on the other. The centering scale is just the ticket for jobs like locating drawer handles. The “0” mark is at the exact center of the rule, with the scale running in both directions from that point. It’s quick and easy to move the rule to locate center of a board and then to lay out equal spacing from that point.
Another popular layout
available in our 24", 36" and 49-1/2" rules reads left-to-right on one side and right-to-left on the other. It’s perfect for measuring from your table saw rip fence to the blade. And if you work in both inch and metric measurements, there’s a 49-1/2" model with a left-to-right inch scale on one side and a left-to-right metric scale on the other.
The ends of the all the rules
(except the 6") have a pair of precision-machined threaded holes in both ends. These allow you to mount the optional Hook Stop. This handy accessory gives you a compact physical reference for the end of the rule. It speeds up lay out work and improves accuracy, too. There’s also the Rule Stop, which clamps to the body of the Woodworking Rule anywhere you want it. It makes repetitive marking quick and easy.
Our inch-graduated Woodworking Rules
come in five sizes (6", 12", 24", 36" & 49-1/2"). We have metric-graduated Woodworking Rules in four sizes (300mm, 600mm, 900mm & 1200mm).
Like all Woodpeckers tools,
the Woodworking Rules are precisely made and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio, manufacturing facility (on the south side of the Cleveland metro area).
