Westcott B-70 8ths Graph Beveled Ruler, 12 in

This is a nice ruler and it is worth having it as it helps with 90 degree angles but I noticed there are some not so even spots on the edge. A bit of sandpaper work solves the problem but one should not have to do that. Still is a good ruler.

The fact that it is transparent and has clearly marked grid lines makes it so very useful for sewing and drawing/drafting projects. The fact that the width of the lines varies, with the inch and half inch lines being wider, adds to the ease of use. I bought this one to replace an old one, and was pleased to discover that the same ruler was still available after 30 years!

These rulers are the best! I have a variety of sizes. From a 6 inch to 18 inches. I bought this one as a replacement for the one I bought 20 years ago which finally faded to the point that it was harder to use. I also had damaged the edges by using it with an x-acto knife. Don't do that. And my kid had snapped it in half, was back together with packing tape. But when you think about it, 20 years is a long long time for thin bit of plastic. This one is just as nice. I use it for crafts, and sewing, and scrapbooking, and all that stuff. It makes getting right angles and 45 degree angles a snap. I can make a set of parallel lines in no time. I can layout the lines for matt boards in no time. The centering bit on the center line is one of my favorite parts. I hope they still make these when it is time to get a new one in 20 years or so.

I have used and misused at least a dozen of these rulers over thirty years or so. For many years, the ruler’s red grid markings were printed in between two layers of transparent plastic. This is an intelligent and useful feature because the grid and numerals cannot scratch off or wear off during use. In recent years, the red markings are printed on the outside of a single piece of plastic. The grid can be easily damaged and the ruler does not last as long. The ruler is also frequently damaged on the edges by cutting blades. If one is careful when handling cutting tools, this does not occur; but it’s easy to nick or slice off some of the plastic edge when the user is at all hurried or distracted. Ideally, one should use a metal edge ruler with cutting tools. But the advantage of making accurate cuts while seeing through the clear plastic ruler with grid markings is so tempting. Still, this is a really useful graphic arts tool. I would not be without having at least two within reach at my desk: one ruler with really good edges and visible markings, and one ruler that is already damaged and scratched but still serviceable if one pays careful attention to its flaws.

I carry this with me at all times in my sketchbook! It is so incredibly useful for sketching and measuring proportions. I used to measure in the air using my pencil as I was taught in art school and this is so much better and more precise. You can look through it and measure objects against the grid and then use the same grid on your paper. and it’s easy to change sizes this way. The way the grid is broken up it’s easy to make things double or half the size as life or even do a fraction like 3/2 the size of life. Constructing complex scenes is so much easier with a transparent ruler. Incredible tool

This C-Thru B-70 ruler is great for trimming or drawing borders around items on paper. Being able to see through the ruler allows for seeing the proper width. The ruler is broken down to 1/16 inches and is very accurate. I have used them professionally for the last 20 years to create custom product labels. The only drawback is be very careful when using an Exacto blade with these, as the ruler is very thin. If you apply too much pressure and cut too fast, the blade will catch the plastic and possibly cut your finger. Take your time and it will work just fine.

This is a great ruler to have! Love the pink lines on it for it to guide me on my cuts. It does get tricky to “read” if it’s on a printed fabric (like the table cloth on my video” but on solid fabrics it’s easy to “read” (like the pants on my video for example). All in all, I use this quite regularly. It’s great to have and at an awesome price as well

This ruler is a must have for a crafter and pattern-maker. Love the flexible material with the precise and see-through lines. I have this ruler in 3 different sizes.

Good product and good delivery

It is made in china and quality is not good.

Not flimsy, good for purpose

Es resistente, fácil de usar, practica, sencilla de transportar, ligera y muy buena

Very useful to make line parallele to the edge of the paper, for perspective drawing
