Product description

The Maun Aluminium Safety Straight Edge 3000 mm (1710-300) is the longest tool in the range. It gives installers, sign makers and fabricators a continuous three-metre guide: no alignment errors from moving a shorter edge. And despite its reach, the extruded aluminium profile stays practical to position.

Why the Maun Aluminium Safety Straight Edge 3000 mm (1710-300) works

Accurate work. Less rework.

0.001 inch per foot(0.084 mm per metre)

It’s the longest Maun straight edge, for three-metre sheets, wraps and flooring runs.

Protect your fingers. Control the cut.

3000 mmof recessed finger protection

On a three-metre cut, the recessed profile keeps your hand protected along the entire pass, and the foam-rubber backing helps secure the guide on smooth large-format media.

Easy to position. Built to last.

40 × 10.5 mmsilver-anodised aluminium

Silver-anodised extruded aluminium keeps the longest tool in the range practical to lift and position, and resistant to corrosion in the workshop and on site.

Best suited to

Manufacturing & Engineering

Choose the Maun Aluminium Safety Straight Edge 3000 mm (1710-300) for three-metre sheets, panels and large-format layout, cutting or scoring.

The longest Maun straight edge avoids multiple set-ups, and its lightweight profile, accurate bevel, recessed hand channel and non-slip backing keep you in control over the full pass.

Model Making & Craft

Use it for exhibition displays, scenery and specialist boards that go beyond normal workshop lengths.

A single three-metre guide eliminates joined lines, and because it’s aluminium, it stays practical to handle.

Sign Making

Ideal for long graphics, wraps, film, vinyl and three-metre sign faces.

The continuous bevel holds a consistent trim line, and foam backing helps secure smooth media during large-format work.

Interiors & Flooring

Use this maximum length for long flooring runs, wallpaper, laminate, veneer, worktops and decorative panels.

It cuts down repeated alignment, and the recessed profile protects your hand along extended cuts.

Glass Work

Choose it for scoring very large panes, where one continuous reference is essential.

Non-slip backing keeps it steady on glass, and the safety channel keeps your fingers away from the scoring path.

Leatherwork

The 3000 mm guide is for the longest hide, strap and panel cuts, where continuity matters more than compact handling.

Its light weight makes it easy to position, and the backing and hand recess give you better control and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 3 metre safety straight edge used for?

A 3000 mm safety straight edge is the longest Maun straight edge. Use it for three-metre sheets and panels, long graphics and wraps, flooring runs, wallpaper, worktops, very large glass panes and the longest hide cuts.

Will a 3 metre straight edge cover a 3000 × 1500 mm sheet?

Yes: along its full 3000 mm length. It also cuts across 3 m-wide vinyl flooring rolls in one pass.

Is a 3 metre straight edge practical to handle?

Yes. It’s made from lightweight extruded aluminium, so one person can position it. For the longest cuts, support the material on a flat surface, set the edge, and keep your fingers in the recessed profile as you work along it. Store it hanging from its 6 mm hole.
