The blade is machined from cast and ground aluminum tool plate. This expensive material is utilized for its mechanical stability and tendency to maintain close tolerances after machining. By milling the blade from a single plate both angles are held to a much higher degree of precision than what's possible from stamped, molded or 2-pc tools.
The handles are milled from solid bar stock and fastened to the body with high strength socket screws. Separating the handles from the blade ensures they can be recalibrated to the blade if knocked out of position.
Anodized for durability and appearance, the Carpenters Square is also engraved with inch scale markings on the vertical leg. Made in U.S.A.
LOVE everything I've ordered! It's all great quality, nice and flat, great selection and perfect for laser projects. Highly recommend KJP! Please continue to carry Houston Acrylics as well- love their acrylic colours and supporting their small business as well. The pattern ply are fun and so nice too. Thanks KJP! This Canadian laser user is so happy to have found your shop.
I have ordered the craft 1/8" walnut plywood from KJP with great results, but this 'TruFlat' stuff is not real walnut. In any case, looks very different from the other laserable walnut mdf-veneered product I have from Trotec, as well as the other craft ply walnut from KJP- which is good for lasering, btw. Order a sample first. It is very flat tho, but lookswise its not what we were looking for... not going to get this again.
