Abstract: Accurate determinations of the physical scale of a lattice action are required to check scaling and take the continuum limit. We present a high statistics study of the static potential for the SU(3) Wilson gauge action on coarse lattices ($$). Using an improved analysis procedure we determine the string tension and the Sommer scale $r_0$ (and related quantities) to 1% accuracy, including all systematic errors. Combining our results with earlier ones on finer lattices, we present parameterizations of these quantities that should be accurate to about 1% for $$. We estimate the $La$-parameter of quenched QCD to be $L{a}_{M}Sb=247(16)$ MeV.
