The blade measures 24 inches in length, 0.75 inches wide, and 0.031 inches thick, making it rigid enough to hold a straight edge against hot or rough stock. Graduated in SAE increments of 1\/8 inch and 1\/16 inch, the rule covers a measuring range from 0 to 24 inches. The all-steel construction resists the heat, scale, and abrasion common in blacksmith and heavy fabrication environments. Sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rule is suited for blacksmiths, fabricators, machinists, and ironworkers who need a durable, flat measuring blade for scribing, checking stock length, or laying out cut lines. The narrow profile and rigid blade allow easy positioning on flat bar, round stock, and plate. Its SAE graduation in 1\/16-inch and 1\/8-inch increments makes it practical for standard trade measurements without conversion. It is a basic hand tool that belongs in any metalworking shop, field fabrication kit, or maintenance toolbox where accurate linear measurement is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e24-inch blade length covers full measuring range in a single pass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual SAE graduations: 1\/8 inch and 1\/16 inch for flexible layout work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.031-inch blade thickness provides flat, rigid contact on uneven stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.75-inch blade width offers a stable reading surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAll-steel construction handles heat, scale, and rough shop conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.14 pounds for easy one-hand use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard SAE blacksmith rule suitable for general metalworking, fabrication, and layout applications requiring a rigid steel measuring blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo installation is required for this hand measuring tool. Keep the blade clean and free of burrs to maintain accurate readings. Store flat to prevent warping. Handle with care around open flame or forge heat to avoid burns, and allow the blade to cool before taking measurements against recently worked stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.031 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduations\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch and 1\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasuring Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 to 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 86N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343172567346,"sku":"86N","price":80.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310503730.jpg?v=1782018985","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-86n-steel-blacksmith-rule-24-inch-sae","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
