Although I have a plane or two that will benefit from the nifty Mark II
that will relegate my Mark I to the corner, the real impressive piece
was the heft of that new 24" steel straight edge they sell!

Also I almost sprang for a Starrett, it would not be as thick and is
nearly 2X the price.

Most impressive piece of steel.. Now if they would make them in longer
lengths too!

1/4" x 1-1/2" x 36", with decent tolerances, pre-hardened, ground steel
(4142) stock (brake die.)

Not cheap (you might do better elsewhere than enco), but not bad.
