Bahco CS300 Combination Square Precision Measuring Tool

The Square Bahco CS300 Weight 380 g is a precision measuring square designed for accurate angle and layout checks in construction and woodworking. Built with a robust profile and stable geometry, this square provides consistent reference lines and reliable flatness for marking, checking right angles, and transferring measurements on a variety of materials. Its compact size and well-balanced weight make it easy to handle on the workbench or job site while maintaining the rigidity required for repeatable measurements.

Advantages

The square combines durable construction with a precise machined edge to deliver stable, long-term accuracy. Its weight and balanced design reduce hand wobble during marking, while the straight, hardened faces resist wear from repeated use. The tool is suitable for frequent on-site handling and for tasks that demand consistent 90° checks and straight reference lines.

Suitable for

• Checking and marking right angles in carpentry and joinery
• Layout and transfer of measurements on wood, metal, and composite panels
• Quality control and verification of squareness on assemblies
• Workshop tasks where compact, durable squares are required

Key specifications

• Weight: 380 g for stable handling
• Construction: robust metal body with machined edges for accuracy
• Finish: wear-resistant mating surfaces to preserve straightness
• Geometry: precise 90° angle suitable for marking and checking
• Size: compact format for bench and site use (compact dimensions for portability)

How to use

Place the square with its stock firmly against the reference edge of the workpiece to establish a stable datum. Use the machined face to draw lines or to check squareness by aligning the blade against the surface to be measured. For transfer measurements, hold the stock against the reference and mark across the blade to preserve consistent offsets. Maintain steady pressure and a consistent hand position to avoid parallax or movement while marking.

Usage recommendations

Store the square in a dry place and avoid impacts that could deform the machined edges. Periodically inspect the faces for nicks and clean off debris to maintain accuracy. For precision layouts, use on a stable surface and verify squareness against a calibrated reference when high accuracy is required.
