• Measuring and marking right angles on timber, boards and panels
• Setting out frames, door and window openings
• Checking squareness of assembled components and joinery
• Use in a workshop or on-site carpentry and renovation work

Key specifications

• Material: metal construction for rigidity and durability
• Overall dimensions: 400 x 600 mm measuring faces
• Function: angle measuring, marking and squareness checking
• Edges: straight reference edges suitable for scribing and guiding saws
• Intended use: carpentry, joinery and timber framing layout

How to use

Place the square with one leg flush against the edge of the workpiece and the other leg extending across the face where you need a right angle. Use the straight edge as a guide for scribing a pencil line or for aligning a saw or guide. For checking squareness of assemblies, press the inside corner of the square into the joint and observe any gaps or misalignment. When marking repetitive cuts or layouts, hold the square firmly in position and move the pencil along the reference edge to keep lines consistent.

Usage recommendations

Store the metal square on a flat surface or hang it to avoid bending; keep edges clean and free of debris for accurate marking. Inspect edges periodically for nicks or burrs and file lightly if necessary. Use with appropriate measuring and marking tools to maintain precision in timber framing and joinery tasks.
