Carpenter's Square SOLA SRC400, 400 x 170 mm, model 56014401

The SOLA SRC400 carpenter's square (400 x 170 mm) is a metal layout and measuring tool designed for woodworking and carpentry. It provides a stable right-angle reference for marking, checking squareness and aligning components on workpieces. Built for use on site and in workshops, the square assists with repetitive layout tasks and quick verification of 90° corners during joinery and cabinetmaking.

Advantages

The tool combines a robust metal construction with precise edges that resist wear and maintain accuracy over time. Its 400 x 170 mm footprint offers a useful balance between reach and compactness for handling a variety of boards and panels. The square’s flat faces and clear reference lines make it easy to place against edges and to transfer accurate right-angle marks for cutting or assembly.

Suitable for

• Checking and marking 90° corners in joinery and cabinetmaking
• Layout work on timber, plywood and composite panels
• Verifying squareness of frames, doors and furniture parts
• On-site carpentry and general workshop measuring tasks

Key specifications

• Material: metal body for durable reference edges
• Overall size: 400 mm x 170 mm for layout and verification
• Shape: right-angle square designed for edge contact and marking
• Finish: machined/ground edges for improved measuring accuracy
• Weight and balance suitable for stable placement on workpieces

How to use

Place the SOLA SRC400 square with one face firmly against the reference edge of the workpiece so the inner corner aligns with the desired marking point. Use the opposite leg to scribe or draw a perpendicular line across the surface. For verification, align the square inside or against an assembled corner to confirm a true 90° angle; slight gaps indicate the need for adjustment. When transferring measurements, maintain consistent pressure to keep the square flush with the edge and ensure repeatable marks.

Usage recommendations

Store the square in a dry place and avoid drops or heavy impacts that could deform the edges. Keep the measuring faces clean and free of debris for accurate contact. For critical layout work, periodically check the square against a known reference or calibration block to ensure continued accuracy.
