Measuring Square Vorel 18300 — aluminium body, steel blade, 1 pc

Vorel 18300 measuring square is a single-piece layout tool with an aluminium body and a hardened steel blade. Designed for marking and checking right and 45° angles, it provides a stable reference edge for woodworking, metalworking and general construction tasks. The compact design and clear millimetre graduations on the yellow-lacquered arm make on-site measurements and layout work straightforward and reliable.

Advantages

The aluminium foot ensures a lightweight yet rigid base while the hardened steel arm resists bending and wear. Clear black millimetre markings on the yellow-lacquered arm improve visibility in varied lighting conditions. The single-piece construction gives stable alignment between foot and arm, enabling accurate transfer of angles and repeatable marking.

Suitable for

• Carpentry layout and marking of right and 45° angles
• Metalworking checks and edge referencing
• Construction and finishing tasks on-site
• DIY projects requiring accurate squaring and measurements

Key specifications

• Body material: aluminium foot
• Arm material: hardened sheet steel with durable lacquer finish
• Graduations: black millimetre scale on yellow-lacquered arm for high contrast
• Angle: fixed 45° connection between foot and arm suitable for squaring and 45° checks
• Configuration: single-piece measuring square, 1 pc

How to use

Place the aluminium foot of the measuring square firmly against the edge of the workpiece so the hardened steel arm rests flat across the surface to be marked or checked. Read the millimetre graduations on the arm to verify alignment or to measure distances from the reference edge. For marking angles, hold the foot securely and scribe along the arm with a pencil or marking knife. For inspection, align the square against edges and check for gaps or deviations.

Usage recommendations

Keep the tool clean and free from heavy corrosion; wipe the aluminium and steel surfaces after use and store in a dry place. Avoid using the arm as a pry tool to prevent deformation. When precise measurements are required, ensure the foot sits flush against the reference edge and verify graduations visually before transfer.
