Woodpeckers Woodworking Square 660mm - Model 2616

Framing Squares Just Don’t Cut It. Conventional framing squares may be OK for construction jobs where 'square' means in the neighbourhood of 90°. That’s what you can expect from a square that’s punched out by the thousands or moulded out of plastic. As most woodworkers know, framing squares simply can’t be trusted in tight tolerance shop work and can be difficult to use.

A Square So Good Its Guaranteed! 

Woodpeckers large-sized Precision Woodworking Squares offer accuracy that’s so good, it’s guaranteed. Woodpeckers squares are machined and quality checked to be dead square within .0085 degrees or better. That amounts to about .001" per foot.

With the 600mm (2616) Precision Framing Square you can confidently set up track saws or straight edge devices for sawing or routing operations. You know you’ll make a square cut every time. These tools are also perfect for panel layout work. And unlike conventional framing squares, the blade of the 600mm model lets you accurately mark all the way to the centre of 4’ x 8’ sheet goods.

Unmatched Precision and Finest Quality Materials

Woodpeckers Precision Framing Squares start the manufacturing process as a solid piece of cast aluminium tool and jig plate. This stable material is then carefully machined in our cutting edge CNC machinery. The result is a single-piece blade and handle that’s made square and will stay square. Two pieces of precision-machined aluminium form the cheeks of the handle. These cheeks are affixed with stainless steel dowel pins that ensure bulletproof rigidity and perfect alignment when pressed into their precision-machined holes. This kind of strength and accuracy simply cannot be matched by conventional framing squares.

A significant proportion of every batch of squares is tested on our computer-controlled optical inspection system while the batch is being machined. Further along in the manufacturing process, every single square is checked by hand against certified granite reference blocks. They are so confident in their quality control that they guarantee their squares to ±0.0085 degrees. If you ever find your square outside that tolerance, they fix it or replace it…for the life of the tool. 

Features Galore

The blades are ¼" thick and the handle is a full ¾". The inside edge of the handle features a shoulder so it will lay flat on the work while still registering against the panel edge. The thick handle makes it easy to stand the blade upright to check square on cabinet inside corners hands-free. Easy to read measurement scales are laser etched in 1/16th increments (1mm on metric models) on both sides of the blade.
