Even when all the best models are laid out in front of you, it can be easy to become overwhelmed by the choices and be unsure which option to get. This buyer’s guide can help you decide on a woodworking square. Factors to Consider When Buying a Woodworking Square

Woodworking squares come with measurements and markings on the blades, allowing you to measure accurately. This may sound like an obvious fact, but make sure you select a square with measurement units you are most familiar with. If you intend to need more than one measurement unit, find an option with both imperial and metric units. Unmatched Precision and Quality. The 1281 Square starts as a solid piece of very expensive, extremely stable cast aluminium tool plate. This large plate is carefully machined in multiple high RPM passes on our state-of-art CNC equipment. Starrett may be a name that you recognize from its long line of great squares, but this model doesn’t live up to those expectations. The Starrett K53-14-N Stainless Steel Try Square doesn’t live up to its name, which is a shame since it’s a simple model which isn’t saddled with extras, you won’t use. However, it does come with a 14-inch blade, making it the longest model on our list. It also comes with good overall material quality. The blade is made from stainless steel and the handle from aluminum. The markings every eighth of an inch will be enough for some workers, but won’t satisfy everyone. Some woodworking square blades are longer than others. The longer the blade, the more area you will be able to measure. At the same time, long blades will be difficult to use in tight, hard to reach places. Select a woodworking square length that best suits your intended purposes. If you have a variety of square needs, consider buying more than one square. Our Guarantee. We're so confident in the accuracy of the 1281 Square we offer it with a Lifetime Guarantee to stay square to within one-thousandth inch or we'll repair or replace it upon return and inspection by us.

Add a stairstep by making lines at the quarter-inch, half-inch, and three-quarter-inch of the oak blade. Cut down along these lines to create a stair step design. This design will serve as a measurement gauge. Apply wood glue to the blade and wiggle the oak blade into the cherry handle. Before clamping the pieces together, use a regular try square to ensure that your square is precise and square. After you have confirmed the squareness, clamp the pieces together. If there is any excess glue, wipe it away to perfect the look. Once we have a perfectly machined square we add two additional pieces of precision-machined aluminium to form cheeks for the handle. These cheeks are fitted to the square with two stainless steel pins that ensure bulletproof rigidity and perfect alignment. This kind of strength and precision simply cannot be matched by squares made using separate blade and handle parts.

For Scotland, 2011 data is shown (update coming soon, the Scottish census was delayed by a year unlike the rest of the UK).Make sure that your woodworking square is completely square and provides accurate and precise measurements. You may even want to look into squares with a leveling bubble and other features to maximize precision capabilities. Using the piece of cherry wood, grab your straight edge and razorblade. Mark how long you want your handle to be. The length is completely up to you. This marking will help you cut a straight line. On the line, use a hand saw to get rid of the excess material.
