Posted on Reliable, accurate squares needed

First of all, for woodworking you don’t need the precision of a machinist’s square. You can’t work to those tolerances in wood. Second, It is easy to check the accuracy of a square. Just set it up on a straight edge and scribe a vertical line. Then flip the square over and see if the line aligns with the square edge. If it does, the square is square! Personally, after 60+ years of machining and woodworking, I use a Harbor Freight combination square for both. I have checked it and it is SQUARE. -- Always remember: It is a mathematical certainty that half the people in this country are below average in intelligence! |
