Wouldn’t it be great to have one rule you could grab knowing you could reference from either end, measure in either inches or millimetres and locate the centre of anything instantly? Well, now you can. With Woodpeckers HexScale Rule…six different graduations in one handy rule.
Measure from right to left and left to right in inches or millimetres and locate the centre of anything in either system. Not only does HexScale put all the rules you need in one, the distinctive shape gets the laser-engraved scales right down on your material, virtually eliminating parallax viewing error.
Left-to-Right or Right-to-Left
In day-to-day lay out work, this is the most familiar to woodworkers. With zero at the left edge of the rule the scale increases toward the right. Occasionally, a measurement needs to start from the right side, instead of the left. A familiar example of this is your table saw, where most often you need to measure from the rip fence on the right to the edge of the blade.
Centring
Whether for hardware mounting or joinery, woodworkers often need to find the centre of a board. A centring scale takes all the math out of the equation. Just adjust the rule so the same measurement lines up on both edges and the zero will be at the exact centre of the material. You can then either mark centre, or lay out points the same distance either side of centre.
Inch and Metric
All options mentioned above are on the HexScale in both inch and metric graduations. The scales are organized to help those of us trying to become fluent in imperial. If you’re looking at a scale in millimetres, roll the HexScale one time and the equivalent imperial scale will replace it.
Stops
Woodpeckers has designed a stop to fit the profile of the HexScale for repetitive marking. Just slide it on, adjust it to the dimension you want and mark as many items as you need.
Like all Woodpeckers products, HexScales are precisely machined and carefully inspected in Woodpeckers Strongsville, Ohio, facility just south of Cleveland.
