Our Precision Combination Squares Are Must-Have Tools For Your Woodworking Shop!
Precision Combination Squares are one of the most usefull tools you can have in your shop. Use them for project layout when marking, measuring and especially for transferring measurements from one board to another, making them virtually essential for joinery work. We consider the combination square a small step up from the traditional double square because of the additional precision miter head that allows you to quickly find and layout miters. Take advantage of the ergonomically correct design to find a comfortable spot for your hand. Although it doesn't fit quite as easily in your apron pocket as our 4" double square, you'll find this 12" combination square to be very usefull when tackling larger furniture projects. Our 12" combination squares feature two additional heads. One is our center finding head that is perfect for 45 deg miters or to mark the center of round objects. The second is our protractor head with 0 to 180 deg resolution with 1 deg graduations and also features a built-in level.
Our 6" and 12" combination squares each have 5/64" thick blades that makes them stiff and durable, a trait not shared with inferior quality squares. Designed specifically for woodworking, each uses an R4 graduation with inches and fractions. The side of the rule with the groove features 1/8" & 1/16" graduations while the other side is marked with 1/32" & 1/64" graduation. This is handy because most of the time you'll be using the side of the square with the machined groove that allows the head to slide to any position on the ruler and remain square.
