Best suited to

Manufacturing & Engineering

Choose the Maun Aluminium Safety Straight Edge 2000 mm (1710-200) for full two-metre sheets, panels and long cutting or scoring jobs.

Aluminium construction keeps the guide manageable, and the accurate bevel, recessed hand channel and non-slip backing give you a clear, controlled reference from end to end.

Model Making & Craft

Use it for exhibition graphics, scenery, model bases and oversized sheet materials that need a two-metre uninterrupted guide.

The long bevel removes mid-line resets and keeps your working line in view.

Sign Making

Ideal for large-format vinyl, film, laminate and two-metre sign panels.

One continuous edge gives a more consistent finish, and foam-rubber backing helps grip smooth media.

Interiors & Flooring

Use this size for two-metre flooring sections, long wallpaper drops, laminate, veneer and panel coverings.

Low weight makes it easy to position, and the recessed profile protects your fingers through longer cuts.

Glass Work

Choose it for scoring long panes in a single pass.

The foam backing steadies the guide on glass, and the protected hand position keeps your fingers away from the scoring tool.

Leatherwork

The 2000 mm guide suits full hides, long strap runs and oversized panels, where moving a shorter edge could spoil the line.

Non-slip backing adds control, and the bevel keeps the knife path in view.
