Half-Measure Adhesive-Back Rulers

Left to Right

Right to Left

Use to find diameters and centers. The graduations and numeric increments on these rulers are half the actual length of the object you are measuring; a 1" graduation is actually 1/2", a 2" graduation is actually 1", and so on. All are flexible for mounting on curved surfaces.

Half-Measure Adhesive-Back Vertical Rulers

Bottom to Top

Top to Bottom

The graduations and numerical increments on these rulers are half the actual length of the object you are measuring; a 1" graduation is actually 1/2", a 2" graduation is actually 1", and so on. Use them to find diameters and centers. All are flexible for mounting on curved surfaces.
