Also this Aluminum Straight Edge for Concrete exceeds federal specifications QQ/A250/11 and ASTM B209. It’s the industry standard.
Available in 10 to 20ft lengths and special order sizes to fit your needs.
In summary the Aluminum Straight Edge for Concrete is the standard for all cement masons. Its quality, durability and precision will give you perfectly aluminum straight edges in your concrete projects. This aluminum straight edge is part of our line of precision and durability products.
Product Description and Features
Straight Edge 150” is a precision tool for solid surface fabrication and other applications where accuracy and straightness is critical. Made from extruded aluminum 5-7/8” wide and 5/16” thick this straight edge is robust and durable. Edge is machined to be perfectly straight with .005 T.I.R. on 150” so you get true and accurate measurements. Extrusions on the edge provide a ridge for the router to ride on reducing friction and allowing for smoother passes. A must have for professionals who demand precision and reliability in their work.

Using an Aluminum Straight Edge for Concrete Finishing
A aluminum straight edge is a must have for concrete finishing as it allows for accurate and precise measurements and checks for flatness. When working with concrete you need to make sure the surface is level and even to prevent any imperfections or defects. A aluminum straight edge can be used to check for flatness, gaps, pits or undulation in the concrete surface so you get a smooth and even finish. Straight edges can be used to guide the router or other tools so you get smoother passes. This means the final product will be top quality and meet the standards of professional concrete masons.
Applications and Benefits
Straight edges have many applications solid surface fabrication, woodworking, metalworking and concrete finishing. The benefits of using straight edges are:
-
Accurate and precise measurements
-
Flat and even surfaces
-
Reduced friction and smoother passes
-
Guide routers and other tools for precise cuts
-
Increased productivity and efficiency
-
Better overall quality of work
These benefits make a straight edges a must have in many industries. Whether you’re a fabricator, woodworker or mason a high quality straight edges are a valuable tool for you.
Compared to Other Tools
Compared to other edging tools the Straight Edge 150” is precision and accuracy. Other tools may be cheaper but lack the quality and durability of the Straight Edge 150”.
