Carpenter's square SOLA SRC500 500x170 mm model 56014501

The SOLA SRC500 carpenter's square (500 x 170 mm) is a precision layout and measuring tool designed for woodworking and joinery. Built to provide an accurate right-angle reference and a straight edge for marking, cutting, and aligning boards and panels, this square supports both professional carpenters and DIY users who require reliable angle and edge control on site or in the workshop.

Advantages

The square offers a rigid construction that maintains squareness and straightness during repeated use, ensuring consistent results across multiple measurements. Its clearly defined edges and visible measurement area make it easy to align materials and transfer accurate lines. The moderate size balances coverage and maneuverability, allowing use on large panels while still fitting common workbench workflows.

Suitable for

• Marking and checking 90° angles on boards and panels
• Drawing straight reference lines for cutting and routing
• Verifying squareness of assembled frames and cabinets
• General layout and setup tasks in carpentry and joinery
• DIY projects and on-site measurements

Key specifications

• Overall length: 500 mm
• Arm width: 170 mm
• Purpose: right-angle layout and straight-edge reference
• Material: durable rigid construction suitable for workshop use
• Compatibility: suitable for use on wood panels, boards, and similar materials

How to use

Place the short arm of the square against the edge of the workpiece so the long arm lies flat across the face to establish a true 90° reference line. Use the straight edge to mark or scribe lines with a pencil, knife, or marking gauge. For edge checks, align the square against the reference surface and observe any gaps along the arms; adjust the workpiece or fixture until the square sits flush. When transferring measurements, hold the square steady with light pressure and trace along the outer edge for consistent marking.

Usage recommendations

Store the square in a dry place and avoid striking or dropping it to preserve accuracy. Clean sawdust and debris from the edges before precise marking. Periodically verify squareness against a known reference or straight edge if used frequently in critical layout tasks.
