Straight Edge Concrete Tool: Aluminum, 18ft x 1-1/2in x 3-1/2in

Straight Edge Concrete Tool: Aluminum 18ft – Smooth Leveling & Easy Handling

Straight Edge Concrete Tools

Aluminum Straight Edge for Concrete is the equipment for all your concrete edging needs. 18ft long and 3.5mm thick, this straight edge gives you precision and accuracy when straightening concrete. The blade is made from high quality aluminum alloy, with a robust design to make it functional for leveling and cutting.

The handle is ergonomically designed for ease of use, perfect for concrete removal jobs and maneuverability on the job site.

Made from high quality aluminum alloy, this edge is built to last. It’s heat treated to a 60/61 T6 hardness level. It’s durable and will withstand wear and tear, perfect for heavy use. With a tensile strength of 30,000 to 35,000 lbs per square inch, it can withstand a lot of pressure and stay straight, perfect for many applications.

The Aluminum Straight Edge is versatile. It’s actual size is 1 1/2” x 3 1/2” just like a traditional 2 x 4. No warping and waste like wooden edges. It’s lightweight, less bulk and user fatigue, easy to move around while straightening concrete. The right equipment are important for flat surfaces, and this edge is a must have.

For added functionality, this edge has kerfed edges and welded end caps. The kerfed edges give you a secure grip so you get straighter lines and less slippage. The welded end caps protect the edges so the straight edge will last longer.

The Aluminum Straight Edge for Concrete meets federal specifications QQ/A250/11 and ASTM B209 so it’s industry standard. The extruded design has a straightness tolerance of ±1/16” over 10 feet, so you get precise results. Flatness is key for smooth material feeding through different cutting devices.

Whether you’re a pro cement mason or DIYer, the Aluminum Straight Edge for Concrete is a must have for perfectly straight and level surfaces. Trust in its durability, precision and convenience to give you great results and make your concrete projects easy.

Features of a Good Aluminum

A good aluminum edge should have the following features. It should be made of high quality aluminum alloy so it’s durable and resistant to wear and tear. It should go through heat treatment so it has high hardness level like 60/61 T6. It should have tensile strength of at least 30,000 lbs. per square inch so it’s good for heavy duty use. It should have kerfed edges and welded end caps which adds strength and makes it easy to use and clean. It should meet federal specifications like QQ/A250/11 and ASTM B209.

Choosing the Right Size and Length of Edge

FinishingUsing a straight edge on concrete is a simple process that requires skill and practice. Place the straight edge on the concrete surface, make sure it’s level and plumb. Use it to guide the finishing process, correct warping or unevenness. Move the edge slowly and smoothly over the surface with a gentle sawing motion. Don’t apply too much pressure as excessive force can damage the concrete. With a straight edge, concrete contractors can get a high quality finish and a level surface.

Aluminum straight edges are a multi-purpose tool with many uses in construction services, concrete finishing, woodworking, metalworking and general hobby projects. One of the most common use is in concrete finishing where the straight edge is used to get precise results. Aluminum straight edges are also used in woodworking, metalworking and general hobby projects where it’s used to check for flatness and straightness. Also used in various industries like aerospace, automotive and manufacturing where it’s used to inspect and measure parts and components. It’s also used in DIY projects like building decks, fences and other outdoor structures so it’s a must have tool for both pros and DIYs.
