Woodworker’s Straight Edge

The Blue Spruce Woodworker’s Straight Edge is a precision tool designed for woodworkers who demand accuracy and reliability in their shop. Patterned after the straight edges used by saw smiths to check circular saw plates and hand saw blanks, this tool improves on the traditional design with a convenient handle cut-out, making it easier to maneuver and integrate into your day-to-day workflow.

Crafted from hardened 301 stainless steel, the straight edge measures 12" long, 2-1/2" tall, and 1/8" thick, with a beveled edge that enhances visibility to clearly see contact between the straight edge and your material or machine surface. The contact edge is held to a tight tolerance of ±0.0007", ensuring precise inspections every time.

Keep the Woodworker’s Straight Edge on your bench to quickly check rough lumber for warp or twist, inspect hand plane soles, or verify the flatness of saw blades. The handle cut-out makes layout work and movement across stock effortless, while its compact size makes it more practical than typical 24" or 36" straight edges for everyday use.

Each Woodworker’s Straight Edge comes with a wall-mountable Rack-It, keeping your tool safely stored, easily accessible, and always in plain sight. Whether checking saw blades, leveling workpieces, or inspecting your progress, this straight edge is a reliable companion in any woodworking shop.
