The Taft-Peirce 9169-72 straight edge from Suburban Tool is a 72" precision reference for toolmakers who need a true master across long work.

Its six-foot length covers machine ways, large surface plates and fabricated assemblies in a single lay, making straightness and flatness verification fast and repeatable in the toolroom and QC lab. One continuous reference means fewer steps, fewer errors and quicker setups.

  • 72" reference length handles long parts and machine beds without repositioning
  • Ideal for straightness inspection, layout and machine-way alignment
  • A solid reference for scraping and blueing precision surfaces
  • At home in the toolroom, QC lab or on the shop floor
  • Legacy Taft-Peirce accuracy, supplied by Suburban Tool
  • Made in the USA by Suburban Tool
  • Edges precision ground, parallel and straight.
  • All sizes are proportioned for proper balance between rigidity and weight.
  • Sizes 24" and longer have marked support points which should be used to minimize deflection due to gravity.
  • When not in use, these straight edges should be hung vertically by the hole provided in one end.
