Everything Veritas has ALWAYS been above average in accuracy, precision and workmanship. They appear to take extra care when it's their own brand.

I have the steel one - works wonders! Far more accurate than I am, tho' sometimes that's not saying much. I only wish they had a 36" one as well.

Make sure to do that end to end and not face to face.

Starrett sells a 36", 48", and 72" straight edge, as well as shorter lengths.

Alas, Starrett stuff is out of my price range, for the limited use I'd put them to.

Robin, Is it extruded or solid I-beam type? Does it have hardened edges? If so, put me down for one of the 50"

carpet laying doesn't need that kind of accuracy, and the tools see a lot of abuse. I doubt that the manufacturers would bother.

Hi -
It's the same extrusion as our current one - also a milled edge.
We claim straight to within .003" over the length of all sizes in aluminum. Our first batch of aluminum straightedges was straight to within about .001" though...of course - we're not going guarantee that....
