    Default Aliexpress straight edges?

    Hi all,

    Anybody had any success with good-value straight edges from aliexpress or the ilk? Granite or cast.

    Considering a 400mm or so tri-square and maybe a 45deg jobby (and 60/30deg if the tri square isn't that already).

    Many thanks,

    Greg.

    As a note, Felix at magpro (M&G Productions) will import them. He gave me these prices and okay'd that I post them here:

    Granite Tri Squares 400X300x50mm , 0 Grade , AUD 260.00/pc
    Granite Tri Square 400x300x 50mm ,00 Grade , AUD 295.00/pc
    Granite Tri Square 700x500x 80mm ,0 Grade , AUD 390.00/pc
    Granite Tri Square 700x 500x80mm , 00 Grade , AUD 485.00/pc

    Not sure exactly what the diff between 0 and 00 is, but I am going to take a punt on the 400mm grade 00.

    Those prices do not include freight - that is for pickup from his warehouse. He'll import them in his next shipment.

    Greg.

    0 is inspection grade 00 is laboratory grade.
    Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.
