Adjustable Wooden Framing Square MODECO MN-83-118 240×270 mm

The Adjustable Wooden Framing Square MODECO MN-83-118 240×270 mm is a compact hand tool designed for measuring and marking right angles and laying out work in carpentry, joinery and framing. It combines two wooden blades joined by an adjustable metal hinge that allows setting and transferring a variety of angles. The tool’s size and construction make it suitable for both workshop use and on-site tasks where a stable square and simple angle setting are required.

Advantages

The framing square offers a balance of durability and ease of handling thanks to its sturdy wooden blades and a metal adjustable hinge that holds set angles securely. Its compact 240×270 mm dimensions provide good control on smaller workpieces and in constrained spaces while remaining large enough for common layout tasks. The simple mechanical design requires no power or calibration and is resistant to everyday workshop knocks when used as intended.

Suitable for

• Marking and checking right angles on timber and sheet materials
• Setting and transferring angles for rafters, stair stringers and joints
• Layout work in carpentry, joinery and general woodworking
• On-site framing checks and quick measurements in construction

Key specifications

• Material: wooden blades with metal hinge
• Overall dimensions: approximately 240 mm × 270 mm
• Adjustable hinge for variable angle setting and locking
• Compact, hand-held form factor suitable for bench and field use

How to use

Place one blade of the framing square against the reference edge of the workpiece and pivot the other blade until it aligns with the line or angle to be transferred. Tighten the hinge to lock the set angle if the hinge includes a locking mechanism, then use a pencil or marking knife along the blade edge to scribe the line. For checking right angles, fully open the square and align both blades against the adjacent faces; any gap indicates out-of-square that can be corrected before fastening. Store the tool dry and free from heavy impact to maintain blade straightness.

Usage recommendations

Use the adjustable wooden framing square for layout and angle transfer tasks on wood and non-abrasive sheet materials; avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and heavy drops to preserve accuracy. When precise repeatable angles are required, verify the set angle against a calibrated protractor or digital angle finder before marking critical parts.
