Carpenter's triangle HOGERT HT4M215 180 mm aluminium

HOGERT HT4M215 180 mm aluminium carpenter's triangle is a precision layout tool for marking and checking right angles in woodworking, joinery and light construction. The 180 mm hypotenuse and rigid aluminium body provide a stable reference for transferring measurements, squaring edges and verifying perpendicularity on workpieces and assembly fixtures. Its compact size and lightweight construction make it convenient to use at the bench or on site.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers a balance of rigidity and low weight, resisting warping under normal workshop conditions while remaining easy to handle. Machined edges and defined 90° angle ensure repeatable accuracy for marking and measuring tasks. The compact 180 mm size is suitable for small to medium projects and fits comfortably into tool kits or pockets. Corrosion-resistant finish extends service life in typical woodworking and construction environments.

Suitable for

• Marking and scribing right angles on timber, sheet materials and panels
• Checking squareness of edges, joints and frames
• Layout work for cabinetry, furniture and small structural elements
• On-site verification of perpendicularity during assembly and installation

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium alloy with corrosion-resistant finish
• Size: 180 mm hypotenuse suitable for small to medium workpieces
• Angle: precision 90° right-angle formation
• Weight: lightweight for easy handling and portability
• Edges: machined or formed marking edges for accurate scribing

How to use

Place the triangle on the workpiece so that the two legs abut the surfaces to be checked or marked. Ensure both legs sit flat against the material to establish a true 90° reference. Use a pencil or marking knife along the outer or inner edge to transfer the line. For checking squareness, align one leg with a known straight edge and observe contact along the opposite leg; any gap indicates deviation. Use the triangle in combination with straightedges or squares for longer reference lines.

Usage recommendations

Store the aluminium triangle in a dry place and avoid impact or bending forces that could alter its geometry. Clean marking edges regularly and avoid using excessive force when scribing to maintain accuracy. For precision layout on longer components, combine this triangle with a longer straightedge or spirit level.
