Welcome to the first blog post of 2019! A short one this month, the scale ruler.. What is a scale ruler and what is it used for?
A scale ruler is very similar to a standard ruler just with extra numbers and scales for each measurement ratio. It’s used to convert measurements/dimensions into a smaller size that’s easier to show on a small plan (designing a house for example). I use a scale ruler every time I design a piece of furniture and use the metric 1:10 and 1:5 scale most often. 1:10 scale turns 10mm (1 cm) into 100mm (10cm) 1:5 scale turns 10mm (1 cm) into 50mm (5cm) That’s all for January, look out for next months Tool!
