Engineers squares, also called precision squares, are essential measuring and marking tools designed for marking and checking accurate angles and straight edges. These quality hand tools are indispensable for professional engineers, machinists, and craftsmen seeking robust accuracy and durability in their work. An engineers square typically has flat, straight, and perpendicular edges, forming a right (90-degree) angle. These L-shaped metallic tools are made from hardened tool steel with integrated stock for sliding along the blade. Additionally, engineers or machinist squares come in various forms, with a combination square being the most common type.
What are the Benefits of Having an Engineers Square?
Engineers squares are a valuable addition for professionals and offer a host of benefits in various ways. They improve the accuracy of cuts and measurements, maintain consistency in a workpiece, and enhance the quality of a finished product. Having a precision square set is a cost-effective way that includes several tools in a single package. Additionally, an engineer’s square can also be used to check the surface flatness and the alignment of a machined part.
For What Purposes Can I Use an Engineers Square?
Engineers squares can perform a variety of functions. You can use them for:
- Checking Right Angles
- Marking Straight Lines
- Setting Up Tools & Machinery
- Measuring & Layout
- Checking Flatness.
