    This is what I use for everything from profiles for bricklaying or levelling conc during a pour through to using as a straight edge for framing & fine (well as fine as I get ) cabinetry.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    I did the same as you Bayzwood. I got the guys to cut mine at the place of purchase in to 2/3.0mtrs and 1/.6mtrs as I use mine to straighten walls when pre sheeting a house, also when cutting long lengths of board I clamp it down as a saw guide.
