Interiors & Flooring

Use this length for long flooring sections, wallpaper, laminate, veneer and decorative panels.

The long guide means fewer alignment changes, and the non-slip backing keeps it steady on glass.

Leatherwork

The 1850 mm edge suits full hides, the longest straps and oversized panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an 1850 mm safety straight edge used for?

An 1850 mm safety straight edge is for long sheets and panels, exhibition displays, long vinyl and film, flooring, large glass panes and full hides: anywhere you need more reach than the steel range offers.

Why choose the 1850 mm over the 2000 mm?

The 1850 mm is a little shorter, so it’s easier to handle and store, yet it still reaches beyond the longest Maun steel straight edge (72″, or 1829 mm). Choose the 2000 mm if your material is two metres long.

How accurate is the 1850 mm safety straight edge?

The bevelled working edge is accurate to 0.001 inch per foot (0.084 mm per metre): within 0.155 mm over the full 1850 mm.
