A machinist wide base square (also known as an engineer's try square) is a high-precision, fixed 90-degree reference tool featuring an extra-thick, weighted base that allows it to stand upright completely hands-free. This design prevents the tool from tipping over on a machine table or workbench, allowing you to use both hands to align machinery or mark parts.
Key Features & Construction
- Hands-Free Stability: The wide bottom "seat" acts as a steady platform on flat surfaces.
- Corner Relief Slot: An inner corner notch prevents dirt or burrs on a workpiece from skewing your measurement.
- High Precision: Built to strict accuracy standards, such as DIN 875 Grade 2 or Grade 0.
- Durable Build: Typically machined from hardened carbon steel or tool steel to prevent bending.
Common Industrial Uses
- Checking the squareness of structural fabrication parts.
- Setting up drill presses, table saws, and milling machines to a perfect 90 degrees.
- Scribing precise perpendicular lines on sheet metal or wood.
