Spi 14-685-2 Flexible Steel Rule 300mm Metric

Product Description

The SPI 14-685-2 is a flexible steel rule designed for precision linear measurement in metric graduations. Measuring 300 mm in overall length and 12.7 mm in width, this rule is finished in satin chrome plating for glare reduction and corrosion resistance. At 0.0200 inches thick, the blade flexes to conform to curved or irregular surfaces, making it well suited for layout and inspection tasks where a rigid rule would be impractical. Installed and used by machinists, toolmakers, and fabricators, this rule delivers reliable readability in both shop floor and bench environments.

This rule is a practical choice for metric measurement work in manufacturing, metalworking, and precision fabrication settings. Its horizontal scale orientation and 1 mm graduation spacing support fast, accurate readings. The satin chrome finish reduces reflection under harsh shop lighting. The lightweight profile makes it easy to carry as an everyday measuring tool for trade and industrial professionals who work in metric-standard environments.

Key Features

• Flexible blade conforms to curved and contoured surfaces
• Metric graduation with 1 mm spacing for precise measurement
• Satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare and resists corrosion
• Horizontal scale orientation for straightforward linear reading
• Compact 300 mm length suits close-tolerance layout and inspection work
• No hook or magnetic features — clean, simple blade profile

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flexible steel rule for metric measurement applications in machining, fabrication, and inspection environments.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Handle the rule carefully to avoid permanent kinking, which can compromise measurement accuracy. Clean the scale face with a dry cloth before use to ensure graduation markings are fully legible. Store flat or in a protective sleeve to maintain blade integrity.
