Measuring square Gimex 150 x 100 mm model 214.574, steel right-angle tool

Gimex measuring square model 214.574 is a compact steel right-angle tool with blade dimensions 150 x 100 mm designed to establish and check precise 90° angles. The steel construction provides rigid, stable reference edges for marking, measuring and assembly tasks in carpentry, metalworking and general workshop use. Its compact size makes it suitable for use on workbenches, small components and confined spaces where a reliable square reference is required.

Advantages

The steel body ensures durability and consistent contact with workpieces, while the 150 x 100 mm blade profile gives a balance between reach and compactness. The right-angle accuracy supports repeatable layout and inspection operations. Being a small, hand-held tool it is easy to position and manoeuvre for marking edges, checking corner squareness and aligning parts during assembly.

Suitable for

• Checking and marking 90° corners on wood and metal
• Assembly alignment of frames, cabinets and small fixtures
• Workshop layout, quality inspection and routine squareness checks
• Use in confined spaces and on small components

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Blade dimensions: 150 x 100 mm
• Tool type: right-angle measuring square
• Application area: carpentry, metalworking, general workshop

How to use

Place the inside or outside face of the square against one reference edge of the workpiece and bring the second blade flush to the adjacent face to mark or inspect a 90° angle. Use a pencil or scribe along the blade edge to transfer layout lines. For inspection, ensure both edges are fully seated against the surfaces to confirm squareness. Hold the square firmly and check from different viewing angles if fine adjustments are needed during assembly or fitting.

Usage recommendations

Keep the steel faces clean and free of burrs or paint to maintain accurate contact. Store the square in a dry place to prevent corrosion and avoid using it as a pry or striking tool to preserve its geometry.
