The other square models that are interesting to learn how they are comparable are the framing square and speed square. These two models are significantly different in several points such as shape, applications, how we use them, features, and the ability to check outside right angle. Meanwhile, they have several similarities such as material, ability … Read more
There are multiple reasons for errors that may happen while using a caliper be it the vernier, dial, and digital model. The sources of error may be generated by the faults in the instrument, human error in the method of calculation, environmental factors, etc. These errors, further, can affect negatively the measurement results; though some … Read more
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
There are several reasons why the depth micrometer is superior to the depth caliper. But, vice versa, there are also several points that depth caliper is better than depth micrometer. On another page, we discuss the difference between a micrometer and a caliper. But, it seems not a complete comparison, not specifically comparing the depth … Read more
We use the spirit level in many practical fields such as in 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. As we know, a spirit level can be accurate up to ±0.5milimeters/meter … 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 reliability of handheld tools like calipers is frequently required in many areas that need higher accuracy and precision such as in engineering, metrology, manufacturing, quality control, 3D printing, etc. However, behind its advantage, these measuring tools are important to keep them well maintained to give accurate readings with extended life. The care includes regular … 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
The handling and general storage of measuring tools and equipment are important for maintaining their accuracy. It includes the feeler gauge, a simple tool that comes commonly in a set consisting of several blades of different thicknesses. According to the ISO 17025 standards, the feeler gauge equipment in laboratories and industries is to be kept … Read more
