Wouldn’t it be great to have one rule you could grab knowing you could reference from either end, measure in either inches or millimeters and locate the center of anything instantly? Well, now you can. With the Woodpeckers HexScale Rule, you get six different graduations in one handy rule. Those of us old enough to remember when woodworking plans were drawn on a drafting table instead of a computer will also remember a triangular rule that was graduated with several different ratio scales and a normal inch scale. Woodpeckers has borrowed that shape to give you the six most useful graduations for woodworking all in one tool. Measure from right to left and left to right in inches or millimeters and locate the center of anything in either system. Not only does HexScale put all the rules you need into one, its distinctive shape gets the laser-engraved scales right down on your material, virtually eliminating parallax viewing error.

In day-to-day layout work, left-to-right is the most familiar to woodworkers. With zero at the left edge of the rule the scale increases toward the right. Occasionally, a measurement needs to start from the right side, instead of the left. A familiar example of this is your table saw, where most often you need to measure from the rip fence on the right to the edge of the blade.

Whether for hardware mounting or joinery, woodworkers often need the center of a board. A centering scale takes all the math out of the equation. Just adjust the rule so the same measurement lines up on both edges and the zero will be at the exact center of the material. You can then either mark center or layout points the same distance on either side of center.

All three options mentioned above are on the HexScale in both inch and metric graduations. The scales are organized to help those of us trying to become fluent in metric. If you’re looking at a scale in inches, roll the HexScale one time and the equivalent metric scale will replace it.

Woodpeckers HexScale comes with a HexScale Stop that’s designed to perfectly fit the rule’s profile for repetitive marking. Just slide it on, adjust it to the dimension you want and mark as many items as you need.

Like all Woodpeckers products, the HexScale is precisely machined and carefully inspected in their Strongsville, Ohio, facility just south of Cleveland.
