At first glance, the DelVe Square looks like a smaller version of the square almost every framing carpenter carries in his tool belt. But take a closer look and you’ll find features that make the DelVe Square ideal for every furniture and cabinetmaker. Whether you’re laying out hand-cut joinery or marking up stock for machining, the DelVe Square offers convenience and accuracy in a tool small and light enough to keep in your pocket all the time.
The most unique feature of the DelVe Square is easy to overlook, but invaluable once you’ve found it. One side of the base is 1/4" from the blade and the other is 3/8". Mark from the 1/4" side on both edges of 3/4" stock and you’ve just laid out a perfectly centered mortise or tenon. Use the 3/8" side to locate center of 3/4" stock for joinery or hardware installation. The base wraps around your stock for a positive, accurate reference. That wrap-around feature also lets you mark the face and edge at the same time.
With a DelVe Square in your pocket, you always have set-up blocks of 1/8", 1/4", 1/2" and 3/4" at your fingertips. The blade is 1/8" thick and 1/2" wide. The base is 1/4" thick and 3/4" wide. Use whichever section you need for machinery set-up, joinery lay-out or other referencing chores.
Scales on the blade are engraved to an accuracy of ±0.004" total accumulated error. To make accurate layout even easier, there are scribing guides milled every eighth-inch along the blade. Just drop the tip of your pencil in the right hole and slide the base along the edge of your stock for perfectly parallel lines at the precise measurement you choose. To lay out angles, the hypotenuse is engraved at 5° increments, plus 22-1/2° and 67-1/2°.
Need a hole centered on 3/4" stock? No problem, there’s a hole milled 3/8" from the inside edge of the base and perfectly sized to work with self-centering drill bits.
Oh, and did we mention that on top of all these nifty design features, the 90° and 45° angles are machined and inspected to Woodpeckers market-leading standards?
For years the DelVe Square has been one of Woodpeckers most popular and most frequently requested OneTIME Tools. Now it’s joining the family of always available precision layout tools. Your DelVe Square will arrive in a CNC-machined, laser-engraved protective case, perfect for hanging your square on the wall when it’s not in your pocket.
Like all Woodpeckers products, the DelVe Square is precisely machined and carefully inspected in their Strongsville, Ohio factory (just south of Cleveland).
