Types of Rulers and Straight Edges
Rulers come in many shapes and sizes for different uses. Edge rulers have more precise measurements than traditional rulers, making them perfect for woodworking or engineering tasks.

Straight edges are typically shorter than rulers but can be used to draw perfect circles or arcs.

Metal rulers usually have precision markings etched into the surface while wooden rules may feature printed numbers. Depending on the intended use, certain compounds such as graphite or silicon can also be added to improve their accuracy.
