Best suited to

Manufacturing & Engineering

Choose the Maun Aluminium Safety Straight Edge 1000 mm (1710-100) for marking, scoring and cutting metre-wide sheet, laminate, veneer and other suitable materials in one pass.

An accurate bevel, low weight, a recessed hand channel and non-slip backing give you long reach with safer, controlled handling.

Model Making & Craft

Ideal for large model bases, display boards, scenery and sheet components that have outgrown bench-size guides.

The full-metre edge removes the mid-line reset and keeps your cutting or scoring line in view.

Sign Making

Use it across one-metre graphics, vinyl, film, laminate and sign panels.

A continuous reference gives a more accurate finish, and the foam backing helps hold smooth media during the cut.

Interiors & Flooring

Well suited to wallpaper drops, vinyl flooring, laminate and veneer up to one metre wide.

The lightweight body is easy to position, and the recessed profile gives your steadying hand real protection from the blade.

Glass Work

Choose this length for scoring common metre-wide panes without moving the guide.

Non-slip backing keeps it steady on glass, and the protected hand channel lets you score with confidence.

Leatherwork

Use it to square hides and cut straps, panels and gussets up to one metre long.

The continuous bevel guides your knife clearly, and the foam backing helps stop the straight edge shifting on the leather.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 1 metre safety straight edge used for?

A 1000 mm safety straight edge is used to mark, score and cut metre-wide sheet, laminate, veneer, vinyl, film, wallpaper drops and sign panels. It’s also used to score metre-wide glass, square hides and cut long straps.

Can I score glass with the 1000 mm safety straight edge?

Yes. The foam-rubber backing helps it stay put on smooth glass, and the recessed profile keeps your fingers away from the scoring path. Use a suitable glass cutter, and score in one steady pass along the bevelled edge.

Should I choose the 1000 mm aluminium or the 1000 mm steel straight edge?

Same length, different jobs. Choose aluminium for knife and scoring work near your steadying hand: it’s lighter, with finger protection and non-slip backing. Choose steel for scribing metal, gasket work and practical straightness checks, where weight and edge durability count.
