The Y ruler: A multifunctional tool where precision meets aesthetic elegance.

Modern goniometers are typically made of plastic with a rotating pin to attach a ruler. While the pivot point of these goniometers is easily movable, they can be difficult to fix at a specific angle for drawing and measuring. This is why our studio redesigned this stationery piece, enhancing its durability and aesthetics while improving its measuring capabilities, making precise drawing effortless. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54798625187_16c95b93e1_b.jpg Design The two main components of the Y ruler are sculpted from solid aluminum, offering a lightweight yet sturdy feel with a premium texture. An embedded magnetic design connects the parts, allowing the Y ruler to rotate smoothly while remaining stable when you need to draw at a specific angle. As you unfold or fold the Y ruler, you'll discover a superb balance between movement and stillness. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799481791_83ec35ed0d_b.jpg Additionally, a glass etched with a center point is integrated into the main body of the Y ruler, enabling you to easily mark the center of circles – a feature unavailable in ordinary protractors. The transparent glass also ensures your drawing view remains unobstructed. One arm of the Y ruler is marked with 12 centimeters and 24 holes, while the other arm features a 5-inch scale. The dual-arm design not only serves for measurement but also functions as a circle drawing tool with diameters ranging from 60mm to 290mm, elevating the overall drawing experience for professionals with its simple yet effective design. Unlike ordinary rulers, we've enlarged the hinge of the Y ruler and incorporated a fixed glass etched with a center point inside. By rotating the enlarged hinge, you can easily find precise angles and mark the center point, something ordinary protractors cannot do. The transparent glass portion within the hinge does not obstruct the user's view while drawing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799812230_fe9656202e_b.jpg One arm of the Y ruler is marked with 12 centimeters, and the other with 5 inches for measurement. Furthermore, the Y ruler features an added 24-hole design, serving as a circle drawing tool for diameters ranging from 60mm to 290mm. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799481786_19a5970896_b.jpg Functionality/Features The Y ruler is a multifunctional tool that, unlike other rulers, offers all of the following capabilities – https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799738453_26b298c921_b.jpg (1) Straight Ruler x 2 - 5 inches, 12 cm (2) Compass/Circle Tool - 60-290 mm Diameter (3) Set Square (4) Protractor with 1-degree increments (5) Instant Center Point Marking (6) Ergonomic Design for Precise Drawing & Measurement (7) Compact Size (1 31⁄32 × 6 57⁄64 in | 50 mm × 175 mm) (8) Constructed with robust materials and a durable coated surface https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799817240_b831ecb163_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54799738838_2037e4d34b_b.jpg
