Questions & Answers
Does this still have the 1/12th inch marking mistake? 1/12th inch is clearly a cultural misunderstanding, no one needs or wants that.
Where is the square made
This product is made in the USA.
What is the guage or thickness of the aluminum?
approximately 2.5 mm; slightly less than 1/8"
3 mm thick, or 8-9 gauge aluminum.
At the end of the day i noticed that the Sq. Seemed a little bowed
I have 3or 4 framing sq.they all have small bends. We just bend back straight.as long as edge along the 16 inch and 24 inch are straight where you mark your lines with pencil that’s all that matters. I’am sure Home Depot would trade out for you but it will do the same. I would just bend back straight in just be careful with it if it bothers you because they bend really easily. They also made in steel which are a lot stronger but they will rust pretty quick then you cannot see numbers. You have the best that will last a very long if you take of it.
Am I able to make calculations for angle measurements in one scale and use that scale on both faces of the square
I just checked my square and it is exactly the same on front and back; therefore, I'd say "yes" you may use the same scales on both faces.
I see yes answers, but actually you most likely can not. One side is 1/8 and 1/16 scale, the same as most imperial tape measures. Strangely, the other side is 1/10 and 1/12, useful scales in their own right, but this does not allow the square to be flipped from face to face unless your calculations equate to the few available common denominators
Not sure I understand the question. 8ths and 16ths are on both sides, so you could use either side. 10ths and 12th are on only one side, so if you measure in 10ths or 12ths then flip to the other, you won’t have 10ths or 12ths on that side.
Yes, this square allows measurements on both faces with the same scale.
PeAd , that's a great question the 16in. X 24in. LASER ETCHED FRAMING SQUARE is a tool with numerous calculations capabilities etched into the surface. To completely answer your question you would need to go to the companies website and watch the video to get your answer. There are so many functions you can complete with this framing square it is difficult for anybody but the woodworking expert or someone in the building trades to give you the answer you are looking for.
Does this anodized framing square come in an 8x12? I know there are steel ones but would love a small aluminum one.
I believe so!
No and I feel the same way you do . I want one in an 8x12 or 12x16 in aluminum and I cannot find one. As you know once the clear coat wears off of the steel you need to oil it or flash rust quickly starts... Our search continues...
I did see two a sizes of speed square's
I wondered the same thing when I bought my anodized aluminum square but did not find a small one, so I bought a small steel square to go with my large anodized aluminum square. Perhaps if the manufacturers are watching this Q & A they will know that at least two people would like to have a small anodized aluminum square.
