Better straight edge for cutting. Making a good tool better!

You can find a simple straight edge anywhere, try a hardware store. I doesn't need to be a rule. In fact, doing this to a steel rule is sort of a waste of the rule's side which has the contact cement on it. Any metal piece with a good straight edge will work. My T-bar is an aluminum extrusion probably made for other purposes, that someone decided would make a good long tool for gluing sand paper to. It makes a long, flat sanding block and was marketed for sanding model airplane wings. I think Micro-Mark may have them and I feel certain I've seen them in Hobby Shops recently. Look for sanding equipment. However, like I said. any straight edge will work. Hardware stores may even sell equipment specifically designed as straight edges.
