About StraightEdges.org
Official straight edge guidance from Maun Industries Limited.
StraightEdges.org is owned and published by Maun Industries Limited, the British hand-tool maker behind maunindustries.com. We built this specialist site for one job: to help professionals, makers and serious DIY users choose the right Maun straight edge for the work in front of them.
Here you’ll find where steel straight edges and aluminium safety straight edges work best, why their features matter, and which length suits each application. When you’re ready to buy, you’ll complete your purchase securely on the official Maun website.
Who reviews this guidance
The content on StraightEdges.org is reviewed by Rebekah Jackson, Digital Marketing Executive at Maun Industries Limited. Before moving into marketing, Rebekah worked in Maun’s production team, so she knows the straight edge range, and how it’s made, inside out. Product information is based on Maun’s published specifications and the knowledge of the team that designs and makes these straight edges in Sutton in Ashfield. Each page shows the date it was last reviewed.
Built on Maun expertise
Maun Industries has been designing and making problem-solving hand tools since 1944. Our straight edges are made by skilled engineers, machinists and assemblers in Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, for customers in the UK and around the world.
StraightEdges.org draws on that manufacturing experience and first-hand product knowledge. It explains how accuracy, material, length, handling, safety and durability should shape your choice of straight edge.
Why this website exists
The right straight edge depends on the material, the task and the length of the line, not size alone.
A Maun steel straight edge is a substantial, wear-resistant guide for accurate marking, scribing, cutting and practical straightness checks. Its weight helps hold sheet or leather in place, and its durable edge takes repeated contact from scribers and blades.
A Maun aluminium safety straight edge is lightweight, with a recessed finger-protection profile and non-slip foam-rubber backing. Choose it when safer cutting or scoring, easier positioning or lengths up to 3000 mm are the priority.
How we produce our guidance
Our guidance is based on Maun’s published specifications, our manufacturing knowledge and each product’s intended use. We link length, material, construction, accuracy and safety features to real-world applications.
We’re also clear about the difference between practical workshop accuracy and inspection-grade metrology. Maun straight edges are made for accurate marking, cutting, scoring and everyday checking. Calibrated flatness inspection needs specialist equipment.
We review this content whenever specifications, availability or official Maun guidance change. For current product details, prices, stock, delivery, warranty terms and purchasing, see the relevant product page on maunindustries.com.
