I love this parallel glide. It glides nicely and feels solid and durable. I use it for hobby calligraphy and a friend suggested I get a parallel glider. I opted for the best and have not been disappointed. I’m also impressed with Dew Drafting Supplies. Easy order and fast shipping.

Was a bit skeptical, but this is a very handy lining and ruling tool - allowing me to make repeatable precise ruling and baselines for most projects. I really like the aluminum grip/roller section as it is far more stable than the plastic version of this I tried years ago and threw out for it's flimsiness causing it to not be as precise or repeatable.

Got this parallel ruler to create guidelines for calligraphy. Great for quickly creating horizontal base and riser height and for angles for italic lettering

I got this for a drafting class, and it’s become my go-to tool for measuring. I purchased this one after reading tons of reviews for other rolling rulers saying that the roller often stuck. I’ve not had that problem with this one at all! It glides smoothly and grips the paper nicely.



I do recommend cleaning the wheels regularly though to avoid smudging or getting residue on your drawing!

I failed to notice that the ruler did not have a metric scale on it... but works great... Dr. S.
