Product description

The Maun Aluminium Safety Straight Edge 1500 mm (1710-150) gives you a continuous guide across large material, without the weight of a long steel edge. Set it once, place your fingers in the protected recess, and make the mark, score or cut with fewer interruptions.

Why the Maun Aluminium Safety Straight Edge 1500 mm (1710-150) works

Accurate work. Less rework.

0.126 mmover the full 1500 mm

Across 1.5 metres, the bevelled working edge stays within 0.126 mm of true.
It’s an accurate guide for large graphics, flooring sections, worktop laminate and big panes.

Protect your fingers. Control the cut.

1500 mmof recessed finger protection

On a 1.5 metre cut, the recessed profile keeps your fingers protected from start to finish, and the foam-rubber backing keeps the long guide steady on smooth surfaces.

Easy to position. Built to last.

40 × 10.5 mmsilver-anodised aluminium

Silver-anodised extruded aluminium keeps this long guide light, much easier to set across large material than a steel edge of similar length, and resistant to corrosion.

Best suited to

Manufacturing & Engineering

Choose the Maun Aluminium Safety Straight Edge 1500 mm (1710-150) for large sheets, panels and long cutting or scoring work, where a continuous 1.5 metre reference improves accuracy.

The low-weight profile stays practical to position, and the hand recess and grippy backing keep long tool passes steady.

Model Making & Craft

Use it for oversized displays, scenery, architectural model bases and suitable sheet material beyond normal bench dimensions.

One long, visible bevel removes repeated alignment points.

Sign Making

Well suited to large printed graphics, vinyl, film, laminate and broad sign panels.

The 1500 mm edge gives you one continuous finishing line, and the non-slip backing helps control smooth media.

Interiors & Flooring

Use this length for long wallpaper drops, wide flooring sections, worktop laminate and veneer.

Lightweight aluminium makes the guide easy to set across large material, and the recessed profile protects your holding hand.

Glass Work

Choose it for scoring large panes in one uninterrupted pass.

Foam-rubber backing helps the straight edge stay put on glass, and the safety channel keeps your fingers clear of the scoring path.

Leatherwork

The 1500 mm guide suits large hides, full-length straps and long panels.

It supports one continuous knife cut, with non-slip backing for control and a bevelled edge that keeps the line in view.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 1500 mm safety straight edge used for?

A 1500 mm safety straight edge suits large graphics and sign panels, wide flooring sections, worktop laminate, veneer, long wallpaper drops, large glass panes and big hides.

Will a 1500 mm straight edge cover a 3000 × 1500 mm sheet?

Across its width, yes: it spans the full 1500 mm. To cut the full 3000 mm length in one pass, choose the 3000 mm safety straight edge.

Is the 1500 mm aluminium straight edge lighter than steel?

Yes: much lighter than a steel straight edge of similar length, so it’s easier to lift and set across large material. Aluminium is softer than steel, though, so for repeated heavy knife work, the Maun steel range is more hard-wearing.

It’s long enough for the width of an 8 × 4 ft board (1220 mm) in one pass.
