Precision Straight Edges
Do not confuse this with a ruler. These are precision-made tools used to determine flatness on litho stones.
Many litho stones are broken because a faulty straight edge was used during the graining or levigation procedure.
May also be used to check flatness on etching and etching press beds.
The heavy weight of the straight edges along with their rigid steel construction makes them a great tool for tearing printmaking paper similar to but more versatile than standard paper tear bars.
