The heart of the design is a one-piece core. Square isn’t determined by pins, rivets, screws or spot-welds like it is in many other squares on the market. It's determined by state-of-the-art CNC milling centres. The core is machined square by a computer and verified square by a computer-controlled optical inspection system, which is capable of measuring angularity to 5 decimal places. The 1.6mm thick blade gets heat treated and tempered ensuring strength and stability. Finally, they're bead blasted to create a non-glare finish that contrasts nicely with the laser-engraved scales.
Like our aluminium squares, the cheeks added to the central core are narrower, forming a shoulder that keeps your square registered to your stock even when you let go. You’ll love using our new stainless-steel squares for layout work. First, the scales are laser-engraved to a tolerance of ±.004" over the entire length of the scale. The thin blade puts the scale right next to your work, reducing parallax error. And, we laser cut precisely-spaced scribing notches along the blade. Just drop a pencil into the notch of your choice and slide the square along the edge of your stock. With twin points for each notch, it doesn’t matter whether you push or pull, you’ll get a line perfectly parallel to the edge.
