T-square (T-type) Expert+ model MN-83-042 500 x 1000 mm measuring tool

T-square (T-type) Expert+ model MN-83-042 500 x 1000 mm measuring tool is a T-type straightedge designed for drawing, layout and alignment tasks that require a stable right-angle guide and long, straight reference edges. With overall dimensions of 500 x 1000 mm it provides a broad working surface suitable for workshop, carpentry, technical drawing and construction tasks where accuracy and repeatability of straight lines are needed. The body combines rigid edge length with a perpendicular head to maintain consistent 90° alignment on sheets, boards and other flat surfaces.

Advantages

The T-square delivers a long, uniform straight edge for accurate marking and cutting guidance. Its T-type head ensures stable contact with the work surface to reduce slip and maintain a true right angle across the full length. The specified 500 x 1000 mm dimensions give an extended reach for large-format tasks while remaining compact enough for typical workshop storage. The construction balances stiffness and handling to support repeated use in carpentry, drafting and construction layout.

Suitable for

• Drawing and technical drafting on large sheets
• Layout and marking in carpentry and joinery
• Cutting guides for panels, plywood and drywall
• Construction alignment and on-site marking
• Workshop and school practical exercises requiring straight edges

Key specifications

• Type: T-square (T-type) measuring and marking tool
• Usable edge length: 1000 mm
• Head width (crosspiece): 500 mm
• Function: straight-line drawing, right-angle alignment and layout guidance
• Suitable surfaces: paper, board, plywood, drywall and other flat materials
• Typical applications: drafting, carpentry layout, cutting guidance and construction marking

How to use

Place the T-square head flush against the edge of the drawing board, panel or workpiece so the crosspiece sits firmly and the straightedge lies flat over the surface. Use the long edge to guide pencils, pens, cutters or marking instruments for straight lines and 90° alignment. For cutting tasks, hold the head securely against the workpiece edge with one hand while guiding the cutting tool along the straightedge with the other. When marking repetitive or parallel lines, use the head to keep the tool aligned and reposition the T-square along the edge as needed.

Usage recommendations

Store the T-square flat or hang it by the head to avoid warping. Clean the usable edge after use to remove debris that could affect line accuracy. When working with power tools, use the T-square as a visual and manual guide while following safety practices and using clamps to secure workpieces. Choose appropriate marking or cutting tools according to the material to preserve the straight edge and ensure precise results.
