SOLA Locksmith's Angle SWA 600 — foot plate 600 x 330 mm, model 56112901

SOLA Locksmith's Angle SWA 600 is a precision angle tool intended for marking, measuring and checking right angles on metal and wood. The tool features a large foot plate that provides a stable base and an accurate reference edge for layout, fabrication and repair work in workshops and on construction sites. The combination of a robust plate and a true 90° angle helps ensure repeatable alignment when transferring lines or verifying corners on workpieces.

Advantages

The wide foot plate delivers stable support on flat surfaces, reducing rocking and improving marking accuracy. Machined edges and a rigid body maintain a consistent 90° reference under typical workshop loads. The sizeable contact area simplifies alignment of long workpieces and reduces the need for additional clamps. The design supports both metal and woodworking applications and is suited to repeated professional use.

Suitable for

• Marking and scribing right-angle lines on sheet metal and plates
• Checking squareness of machine parts, frames and welded assemblies
• Layout work for carpentry, joinery and furniture assembly
• Transfer of reference edges for cutting and drilling operations
• Workshop inspection and quality control of right-angle features

Key specifications

• Foot plate dimensions: 600 x 330 mm
• Primary function: 90° angle measurement and marking
• Material: rigid construction suitable for workshop use (metal)
• Contact edge: precision-machined reference edge for accurate scribing
• Stability: wide base to minimise rocking during marking

How to use

Place the foot plate flat on the workpiece so the machined reference edges contact the surface. Ensure the base sits fully on the material to prevent tilt; use auxiliary supports or clamps for thin or flexible pieces. Align the edge of the locksmith's angle with the desired layout line or corner, then scribe or mark along the reference edge. For squareness checks, position the angle against one face and inspect the adjacent face or measure clearances along the reference edge. Clean contact surfaces regularly to preserve accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Store the angle on a flat surface and protect the machined edges from nicks and corrosion. When measuring or marking critical parts, verify squareness against a calibrated reference and avoid excessive force that could deform the plate. Use clamps or supports on thin materials to maintain stable contact and reliable results.
