Engineering Square

Product Code : EL-MAILE-10835

Quick Answer: An Engineering Square (machinist square) is the metalworkers’ equivalent of a try square, consisting of a steel blade inserted and either welded or pinned into a heavier body at an angle of 90°. Made entirely from metal for accuracy, it has a notch cut in the stock in line with the inside edge of the blade so measurements stay accurate even when there is a burr on the edge of the work. It is used to check that edges and ends of boards are square with adjoining surfaces, check the width, thickness, or flatness of narrow boards, lay out lines perpendicular to an edge, and measure short distances.
