Center Finding Ruler-1/8" Incriment

[Richard D]

I'm looking for a few center finding rulers in various lengths, but with 1/8" marks. I don't need any more accuracy than that, and the larger marks are easier to see. Any sources?

These are 1/16" Must you have 1/8"?

On edit these people have an 1/8" rule if they will sell it to you. http://www.hotglassproducts.com/new-ruler-design-for-2014/

Looking for a ruler, not tape measure. Although I have those too, and they come in handy too.

Those are really nice, wish they were in 1/8". I do vinyl lettering in somewhat low light conditions, and its difficult to see/count out the 16ths. 1/8" is all the accuracy I need. If I want 1/16, I just go between the lines.

I edited the above post, reposting so you don't miss it.

Also found this, http://www.oregonruleco.com/workbenchrules.htm

They have workbench rules that read right to left and left to right. If your in a fixed situation where a glue down would gluing down 2 end to end make something that would work for you?

Thanks guys, lots of nice stuff, but still don't see what I'm looking for. A center-finding ruler with 1/8" marks, no 16ths, 32ths, or metric.

I really like Generals stuff, I have some, great U.S.A. made at a good price.

Micro Mark has them also but I think they have too fine graduations for you.

Could you just take a sharpie/paint pen/whiteout pen to the numbers you want to ignore/highlight?

When I think of a center finding ruler I think of something like this:

A lot of the heads are interchangeable on some of the older ones but I don't know of anyone making a steel scale for these that only goes down to 1/8".

When I think of a center finding ruler I think of something like this:

I have several of those, like shown, protractor, etc. Not what I'm looking for.

Yes I thought of that but it would be pretty tedious. Someone has gotta make one.

Here is a centerfinding ruler next to my favorite large ruler:

the lower ruler is much easier to read and quicker to use. All the accuracy I need for a lot of what I do.
