The replacement rule for the damaged 1st delivery has arrived safely and I'm looking forward to the more efficient use in back edge (Charlesworth style) honing of my plane blades. Thank you for the prompt replacement.

While Rob makes the use of this thing as a thin shim look so easy to get that perfect bevel edge at the end the sharpening regimen, I am getting close to getting the technique right. It works fine, and the lack of any etching or other marks on the metal lets it lay perfectly flat. Customer service getting this rule was above and beyond when I had a shipping issue, so kudos for that as well. Nice little tool, but great customer service on top.

This works just fine. It’s a metal strip, not strictly a ruler with graduations. It measures around .015” thick, about .004” less than the six inch ruler I was using before. The metal is softer than a 6” ruler and will bend if not properly handled. A plastic shipping case is provided to avoid accidental bending. The thinner material sticks (suction) to the swarf better than a 6” ruler, an advantage, and also overhangs my Shapton Pro stones by about an inch on at either end. The overhang allows use of a 1/2” rare earth magnet on the underside of each end, which absolutely prevents slipping in use. Magnets secure it fantastically to a metal diamond lapping plate. This is a lot better than a 6” ruler and I’m sure Charlesworth would have preferred these, if they were available in his time.

works great could not find a ruler that thickness anywhere great item
