Gregory Paolini Rule

[wooduser]

just saw this on the Woodpecker site, this is a one time product. Order now and when they're gone, its over. FYI

I ordered mine and even had a chance to talk to Greg about how cool a tool it is. If this tool sells well enough, it may rise above being a One-Time item. Be sure to order yours in the next few days or you may miss out on a well-designed tool made in the USA.

really wish there was a 12" one, 6 might be a tad short sometimes and 18 just seems too long.

WoodPeckers seems to be selling a number of these "one time" tools. I suspect, but can't say for sure, that it is an excellent way to keep the machines and workers busy without creating costly surplus inventory. Most of these products are made from solid billets of aluminum, maybe surplus from other products, and CNC machined. That machinery isn't cheap either so needs to be kept busy to pay for itself. By having pre-orders you have a known, limited quantity to make and can be squeezed between runs of parts for the main product line. It is a relatively safe way to evaluate product demand, too. If it turns out to be a popular item, it is easy to reload the program, mount the fixture, and cut a bunch more on the CNC. Pretty smart business practice.

If it makes you feel any better- I don't have one yet either! I'm still using a year old pre-production prototype. It looks like it has been through the war- has all sorts of modifications and extra holes I drilled in it to test various ideas!

Ordered one yesterday. I have trouble reading the one i have now and Greg's rule looks like it is easier to read and more versatile.

I just ordered by 6" rule in metric and Imperial

They added this info on the mixed scale ones

SIDE 1: 1mm & 1/32 VERTICAL SCALE: 1mm
SIDE 2: 1/16 & 1mm VERTICAL SCALE: 1/32

Love seeing the reaction to this ruler! It was pretty cool getting to know the guys from Woodpeckers when they were here taking the class with Gregory. We were all pretty excited when they sent us the pictures of the Paolini Pocket Ruler, and can't wait to get some here at the shop!

Well, what Woodpeckers puts on the ruler is up to them. But if you were to happen to stop by the shop with your ruler, I can pretty much guarantee that Gregory would sign it himself. The door is always open here.

Just ordered mine. (6" combo) Cool tool!

I have been needing/wanting to upgrade my measuring tools, therefore ordered both the 6" and 18" rules.
