Carpenter's square HOGERT HT4M214 300 mm aluminum, layout and marking tool

HOGERT HT4M214 is a 300 mm aluminum carpenter's square designed for precise layout, marking and verification of right angles in woodworking and light construction. The tool offers straight, stable edges for tracing pencil lines and checking squareness on workpieces. Corrosion-resistant aluminum construction keeps the square lightweight and durable for frequent use in workshops, on-site carpentry and DIY projects.

Advantages

The aluminum body ensures a low weight for easy handling while maintaining dimensional stability and corrosion resistance. Accurate machined edges provide a reliable reference for marking and checking 90° joints, and the compact 300 mm size is convenient for working on smaller panels, frames and components. The simple, open design allows clear visibility of layout lines and easy transfer of measurements across workpieces.

Suitable for

• Layout and marking of right angles on timber and sheet materials
• Checking squareness of frames, joints and assembled parts
• Furniture making, cabinet work and joinery tasks
• General workshop and DIY carpentry projects

Key specifications

• Material: anodized aluminum for reduced corrosion and low weight
• Length: 300 mm blade for compact marking and measurement
• Shape: L-shaped square providing two perpendicular edges
• Edge type: machined straight edges suitable for pencil or scribe marking
• Finish: smooth surface that allows clear visibility of layout lines

How to use

Place the inner corner of the square against the edge or corner of the workpiece so both blades sit flush. Use the straight edges as a guide to draw pencil or scribe lines for cuts, joinery or reference points. To check squareness, align one blade with a reference edge and observe any gap or light between the other blade and the adjacent surface; adjust the assembly until the edges sit flush. For repeated transfer of measurements, hold the square firmly and mark at the required interval along the blade.

Usage recommendations

Keep the aluminum square clean and free of debris to maintain accurate contact with workpiece edges. Avoid heavy impacts or bending forces that could deform the machined edges. When storing, place the square in a protective pouch or tool drawer to prevent nicks that would affect marking precision.
