Different types of tools are used to mark lines and measure the dimensions in wood and metalworking. The square tool is one of the common, durable, straightforward, and easy-to-use tools for those purposes. Basically, all square tools have two sides of their body perpendicular and it functions to check the right angles. However, the square … Read more
In woodworking, to measure the dimensions of different parts which are to be crafted or joined together, different tools are used. To check of the two meeting surfaces whether they are perpendicular to each other, squares are used. These square tools commonly consist of two blades that are fixed perpendicular to each other. The angle … Read more
We use the spirit level in many practical fields such as in CNC machine, building, carpentry, masonry, etc to ascertain the levelness of a surface. Not only does it check for levelness, but plumb and 45-degree slope are also subjects to check with this tool. In this post, we are trying to explain the best … Read more
Among the tools available to measure an angle, a protractor (or engineering protractor) is a simple mathematical and geometrical instrument used for drawing, measuring, and plotting angles. Protractor has a scale that is graduated in angular unit degree, on its outer most circular edge and has a vertex mark right at its center of its … Read more
The degree of how an object is exactly like a square shape is squareness. It has a correlation with straightness, perpendicularity, parallelism, and 90-degree angle. And we express squareness in a tolerance value. One of the prevalent shapes used as a reference for geometric conformity of squareness is a square tool. However, there are many … Read more
Are you struggling to decide which one to buy among the protractor, inclinometer, and angle cube? Is it a little confusing in what situation they are excellent? In other words, in what application are each of them used to? What is actually a protractor? Why are many tools named protractors? Does it go the same … Read more
Maybe, you need to check how square an object is but are not sure how to do that. If you need an object to be square, accurate and uniform, it is essential to know how this can be checked and even measured accurately. This article will inform you briefly on how to measure squareness with … Read more
As the name suggests, a combination square is the hybrid model of a square tool that combines several tools in one. It has a sliding head similar to the double square. This head also incorporates with built-in miter square and spirit level. Some higher-priced models of combination square come with a protractor and/or center finder. … Read more
A framing square is considered an angle gauge and it’s another type of square tool. The most application of framing square is in carpentry and building such as roofing, stairway, and many more. Not only for checking 90-degree corners (squareness) but also for layout, marking, and scribing. Therefore, it incorporates some tables and scales that … Read more
If you want to check whether a surface state is level or not, you can use a spirit level; the same tool is also capable to check for plumb. But spirit level is not the only tool to check levelness. There are digital levels and laser levels as well. Confusingly, either of these models has … Read more
