Scales

Vemco drafting machine scales and straightedges, as with other Vemco offerings, set standards of accuracy, reliability and value to which others can only aspire.

Vemco offers a scale selection of over 30 different graduation styles to satisfy nearly any requirement for measurement, whether in fractions of inches or metric increments.  All Vemco scales are available in either 12" (300mm) or 18" (460mm) lengths.

Clear Plastic
Series "P"

Acrylic scales offer a clear view of drawing beneath.   Graduations and numbers are on underside of scale to eliminate parallax distortion.   A raised rib protects the graduations and prevents capillary action when inking.

AntiFlex®
Series "AP"

The AntiFlex® scales combine the best qualities of the aluminum and plastic materials.  Clear acrylic edges are molded to a rigid aluminum rib.

AdvantEdge®
"AP80"

The AdvantEdge™ scale greatly increases the efficiency of any art and layout department.  It combines a double numbered pica scale, and inch scale and a cutting edge into one scale that can be used on track type drafting/layout machines.
