Cast Iron Straight Edges are widely used for setting up and leveling machinery and equipment, for checking the flatness of surfaces or scribing. Also can be used for positioning work above and parallel to a surface.
Features of Cast Iron Straight Edge:
• Made from high quality cast iron.
• I-Section or Parallel type.
• Casting stress – relieved to remove internal stresses.
• Offered in hand-scrapped finish to various Grades.
• Top and bottom faces are precision ground parallel and flat.
• Offered in three Grades of accuracies: Grades 1, 2 and 3.
• Supplied with fine storing case for protection and storage.
These features make Hanxin one of the best Cast Iron Straight Edge manufacturers in the industry.
We are a leading manufacturer of cast iron straight edges, widely used for assembly, commissioning, and leveling applications.
We supply factory inspection reports and calibration certificates upon request, ensuring traceability and conformity with international surface plate accessory standards.
Our I-section straight edges are designed to verify the flatness of large precision surfaces, such as machine tables and surface plates. They are also commonly used for blue matching during manual scraping operations. The I-section design provides a wide, parallel working surface, making it ideal for accurate spirit level measurements.
· Constructed from stress-relieved cast iron to ensure maximum stability.
· Cored and ribbed design enhances rigidity while minimizing overall weight.
· Top and bottom surfaces are precision-ground, remaining flat and parallel within 0.0005" over 12".
· Ideal for setting up and leveling machinery, inspecting surface flatness, or scribing.
· Can also serve to accurately position workpieces parallel to a reference surface.
