Carpenter's Try Square Dedra ML2070 180 mm

The Dedra ML2070 180 mm carpenter's try square is a hand tool for marking and verifying precise right angles on wood and other materials. With a fixed 90° blade and a robust stock, this try square is designed to provide consistent squaring for layout work, edge checking and transferring measurements in carpentry, joinery and general workshop use. Its compact 180 mm blade length makes it suitable for both small-scale detailing and routine checks during assembly or cutting.

Advantages

The fixed 90° configuration ensures repeatable, accurate angle checking without needing adjustments. The sturdy stock provides a solid reference surface that resists movement during marking and measurement transfer. The 180 mm blade offers a balance between reach and control, allowing precise alignment on short boards, panels and components. The tool’s simple, durable design supports frequent use in workshop and DIY environments with minimal maintenance.

Suitable for

• Marking and scribing right angles on timber and sheet materials
• Checking squareness of edges, joints and workpieces
• Layout and measuring tasks in carpentry and joinery
• DIY projects, furniture assembly and small repairs

Key specifications

• Blade length: 180 mm
• Blade orientation: fixed 90°
• Material: rigid metal blade with a durable stock (metal or composite)
• Intended use: marking, checking and transferring right angles

How to use

Place the stock of the try square firmly against the reference edge of the workpiece so the blade lies flat across the surface to be marked. Hold the stock securely to prevent movement, then draw a pencil or scribe along the blade to mark a perpendicular line. To check squareness, align the stock with one edge and inspect contact along the blade; any gap indicates deviation from 90°. Use the same procedure when transferring measurements from one component to another.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade and stock free of debris and sawdust to maintain accurate contact with edges. Store the try square in a protective place to avoid knocks or bending of the blade. For best results, periodically verify accuracy against a known square or straight reference, especially after heavy use or any impact.
