Woodpeckers 26" and 18" Precision Woodworking Squares

Woodpeckers 2616 and 1812 combine the size of a carpenter's framing square with the precise construction of a furniture maker's try square. The reinforced beam lets the square stand on their own and provides an accurate edge reference you'll never get with a framing square. They're the ideal tools to reach for when doing critical layout work on sheet goods and when setting up track saw cutting stations. What separates Woodpeckers squares from the rest is the one-piece central core. The core is milled from cast and ground tool plate aluminum (the most stable aluminum made). The central core gives Woodpeckers Precision Woodworking Squares an accuracy and stability not found in competitive tools.

The cores of the 2616 and 1812 are precisely machined complete squares. Their milling methods combined with the top quality material used allows it to hold a tolerance to ±.0085°, that is one thousandth of an inch per 12" of blade length. To this highly accurate core, we add cheeks to make the base thicker. The combination of the one-piece core with the precision-pinned cheeks can't be matched by squares made with a blade riveted to a separate beam.

The cheeks are narrower than the core by a quarter-inch, forming a shoulder not found in traditional square designs. The shoulder allows the square to rest ont he edge of the board without you holding on. Once you've used a Woodpeckers square with the shoulder, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

The hands-free design, the wide stable base for vertical use and the helf and balance of these squares combine to make them a joy to use, as well as deadly accurate. It doesn't stop with just a great square, laser-engraved scales on both sides of the blade (metric or imperial) to an accuracy of ±.004" total accumulated error over the entire legnth of the scale. 

When the job is done, your squares store in a wall-mountable case that keeps them safe, but always in plain sight and ready for the next project.

These squares are protected by Woodpeckers warranty. If it's not square, they will repair it or replace it.
