Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 600 mm safety straight edge used for?

A 600 mm safety straight edge is an all-rounder for workshop, craft and DIY cutting: presentation boards, foam board, sign faces, printed film, wallpaper, decorative sheet, glass strips and bag panels.

Is 600 mm long enough to cut across a roll of wallpaper?

Yes. Standard UK and European wallpaper rolls are 530 mm (about 21 inches) wide, so the 600 mm covers the full width in one pass: ideal for trimming lengths on the pasting table.

How accurate is the 600 mm safety straight edge?

The bevelled working edge is accurate to 0.001 inch per foot (0.084 mm per metre): within 0.05 mm over the full 600 mm. That’s precise guidance for cutting and scoring, though not a metrology tolerance.
