Gday All. I hope everyone has had a good weekend.

I promised another forum member I'd send him a bit of carbide to make a carbide scraper with (will try and post tomorrow Ed)

Whilst I was looking through various boxes for the carbide I came across this.

350mm rule big.jpg

Something else I have forgotten where (and when) I got it from (and forgotten I had) I had some old newspaper (late 1988) in the bottom of the box and this rule had somehow managed to work its way under the paper so probably been there all that time.
Looks like it hasn't been used as it was still in a plastic bag. Probably for a machine. The good thing is its 350mm long.
How many times have you been making something that's been just slightly longer than 305mm? I enlarged the hole in one end and now it's hanging on the wall with my 150, 305 & 600 rules.
Almost as good as getting a new tool in the mail.

woo hoo
