Thread: China Tools 4, Finally the best T-ruler

All the best to you and your family Dennis. May you all have a very enjoyable Christmas and I look forward to more of your videos in the new year.

Enjoy your videos. Appreciate that you can admit to being wrong at times and that you are prepared to re-evaluate what your previous position was.

All the best to you and yours for the coming festive season and I look forward to more videos.

I have a set of 3 18" incra rules. I pretty much never use the others but the T rule is incredibly handy. I never expected I'd use it that much until I had it. I have thought of buying some shorter ones.

I would say though that the ability to unscrew the head is REALLY handy and for that reason I'd get the 2 piece one over the red one. 2c.

And don't ask me why, I can't remember I just remember undoing it from time to time. Edit: I just remembered one of the reasons, it's in your video. The incra T rule is a fantastic tool for setting the height of saw blades and router bits. Also the ability to slide the top is handy when working up against a corner.

I prefer the stainless incra over the aluminium. There have been occasions when I clamped my rule (with a timber piece to not damage it) and used a second one against it (always looking for the hardest way to do things). I'd be less confident about damaging the softer aluminium...

Some of my incra stuff doesn't get used much (like the incra plastic measuring jig) but it's all very high quality and good value for money because I use it so much.

My epxerience as the owner of 150mm &30mm Incra rules is that the 300mm hardly ever gets used and the 150 constantly gets used. I also have a 300mm flat rule of the same type and it gets some use to set dividers.
