## Overview

The Shinwa H101-E is a 600 mm rigid machinist ruler crafted from hardened, spring-tempered stainless steel. Featuring a zero-glare satin chrome finish and precision photo-etched black-filled metric markings (.5 mm & mm), it offers exceptional readability and durability.

## Description

This precision 600 mm metric rigid ruler is made by Shinwa Measuring Corporation, a premier tool manufacturer. Rule is made from spring tempered and hardened stainless steel and is 1.180” wide by .052” thick. It has a “zero-glare” satin chrome finish on the face that can be easily read in both low and bright light conditions. One face has metric graduations in both .5mm and mm and the reverse side has metric conversion tables and tap drill sizes. Graduations are precision photo etched and then black filled for easy readability. 100 mm divisions are marked in red. The sides of each rule are precision ground parallel to each other. One end is accurately ground square to allow accurate reading, while the other end is rounded with a hole for hanging.

Review: not recommed.
Review: I just got this today and have used it already. What do I like: The black ink etched rules and numbers are extremely easy to read. The stainless steel is thick enough to be very stiff. The coefficient of expansion for steel is roughly 1/3 x that of aluminum--temperature stable. Both edges have rule markings. The edges are square for consistent material marking. Perfect length for my shop use. Hole to hang in the workshop with the rest of my rulers. Quality design and quality construction. I would highly recommend to anyone.
