Prismatic Straight Triangular Edges that are used for checking angle and flatness of machine tools dovetailed guide ways, fixtures and slides. Triangular straight edge, two faces are scrapped and angle between the scrapped faces (30 or 45 or 60 Degree) is accurately processed. The third side is painted and recessed for weight reduction in the bigger sizes.
