FreePrintable.net has a brand-new site that's perfect for teachers, students, hobbyists and artists. PrintableRulers.net provides printable rulers with different standards, intervals, shapes, and sizes to meet a variety of individual needs.
"Rulers have to have exact measurements or they're useless," said Kevin Savetz, the site's creator. "So these are carefully designed and offered as PDF files so that different computers can't accidentally change the size or scale. They work just like any other ruler."
The most popular rulers are the standard rulers that help people measure one foot in inches and various smaller intervals. For those who follow or teach the metric system, there are plenty of rulers with centimeters and millimeters. These are all perfect for classroom projects and for teaching students how to use different standards of measurement. For long rulers that don't completely fit on one page such as measuring tape, yardsticks, and metersticks, the components can be printed, cut out and taped together.
For more specific and professional needs, there are quite a few hobbyist rulers with scales running from half an inch to 1:144. There are rulers for model builders, engineers, architects, and more. There are also drawing rulers in unusual shapes such as triangle, square, and T-square.
Overall, there are 34 printable rulers available at PrintableRulers.net for various uses. All of them are free to download and print as a free PDF. PrintableRulers.net is the sister site of TeachersPrintables.net, which offers more than 850 classroom printables for school use.
There are more than 90 sites in the FreePrintable.net family of free printables sites created by Savetz Publishing, Inc., a company devoted to creating useful and informative web sites of interest to consumers and small businesses.
