It spans 12 feet (3.66 meters) and features 1\/16 inch graduations printed on a white background for easy readability in shop and field environments. The tape is 1\/2 inch wide and constructed from steel, making it suitable for demanding trade and industrial applications. Machinists, carpenters, metalworkers, and general contractors use this style of tape to establish a fixed reference scale without reaching for a handheld measure every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adhesive tape measure is intended for stationary layout and measurement reference in residential and commercial settings. Common applications include cabinet shops, woodworking benches, metal fabrication tables, HVAC sheet metal layout tables, and plumbing or electrical conduit bending stations. The self-adhesive backing allows the tape to be applied directly to a flat surface, providing an always-available linear reference. It ships as a single unit and is typically installed once and left in place as a permanent shop aid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-foot (3.66 meter) total length for extended layout coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/16 inch graduation for precise incremental measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch tape width fits standard mounting rails and narrow surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction resists stretching, wear, and shop-floor abuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite background improves graduation contrast and readability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-adhesive backing allows direct surface mounting without hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose adhesive scale reference for flat workbench, machine, and fixture surfaces where a permanent linear measurement guide is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the mounting surface thoroughly with a degreaser and allow it to dry completely before applying the tape to ensure a strong adhesive bond. Measure and mark the starting reference point before peeling the backing to avoid misalignment. Press the tape firmly along its entire length, working from one end to the other to eliminate air bubbles. No special tools are required, but a roller or firm straight edge helps achieve full contact adhesion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 feet (3.66 meters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inch (0.0625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: White\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 63173\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540374815026,"sku":"63173","price":22.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/15cb9b710a8c13d6b02e6fc3b03d5a10.jpg?v=1785853721","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-63173-adhesive-tape-measure-12-ft-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
