4 Excellent quality not the garbage that I bought before on Amazon

I use this ruler for calligraphy. It is very steady and works like a charm. The only con is that measurements are not in centimeters as well, only in inches.

Great product! It’s getting harder and harder to find these, so I opted for a size larger than what I actually need. I use this for calligraphy planning and it works well—I’m happy I needed up with larger than I was originally planning because this size is more versatile for a wide variety of products. I’m a very happy customer!

5 Parallel Gliders with Metal Roll are much better
MDG-Teresa on Oct 4th 2022
The Alvin Pro Parallel Glider is a solid piece of drafting equipment. Must have for professionals. They're not invincible, but when taken care of, they can last for years and years. And DEW Drafting Supplies is an awesome company with good prices and exceptional customer service!

Makes formatting envelopes for calligraphy a breeze. Worth the price for the time savings of getting it right the first time.

Had several "rolling rulers" & broke lessers versions. I had the smaller version of this one for a couple years and had to get the larger one because of the durability, practicality and design. Its an excellent addition to any desk.

We are an architectural and landscape architectural office. Several of my staff use these parallel gliders in two different sizes. The 14" is the most popular since it measure 12 inches.
