the blade is one-third the thickness of a traditional carpenter square
putting the scale closer to your material for better accuracy
speaking of the scale the laser engraved angle and inch markings are crisp and sharp and will
never wear off my favorite feature of the skill square is the complete set of scribing guides
along the top edge all the way from 1 8 inch to 6 inches in eighth inch increments just drop
any marking device in the laser cut notch and scribe perfectly parallel to the material edge
if you're framing you have another set of scribing guides on quarter inch centers
that are tailor made for a carpenter's pencil marking angles whether it's for furniture
construction or rafter framing takes a huge leap forward with skill square too
the pivot point is well defined and reinforced with stainless steel for a lifetime of accuracy
just pivot off the point and use the scale that matches your project degrees common rafter pitch
or hip and valley raptor pitch
there are two models of the skill square the basic model will feel very familiar to anyone that's
used a carpenter square the xt model adds another feature that takes the tool to another level
once you're away from the end of your board the scale on a carpenter square
is useless the shoulder that makes the tool what it is keeps you from using the scale skill square
xt adds a second scale outside the beam letting you measure accurately in the
middle of your construction you can buy either skill square by itself or get the set both come
with a wall mountable racket to keep your skill square in plain sight and ready to go to work
whether you're building remodeling or making furniture you'll love skill squares the speed and
convenience of the traditional carpenter square amped up with woodpecker's commitment to quality
materials and precision manufacturing the rockler small piece holder it securely holds small work
pieces to give you the best possible cut results all while keeping your hands far from the cutter
the keys are its stability and ease of handling the two outside bases and the
interior adjustable fence are solidly connected by two plane steel rods and a steel lead screw
the results are a sturdy assembly and a footprint that's large enough to resist tipping the smooth
bottom surfaces reduce friction for easy movement on the table and the large rounded handles provide
both comfort and complete control securing your work piece in a small piece holder is easy too
the interior fence has a quick release mechanism that allows instant positioning up against your
stock and an adjustment range that accommodates pieces up to eight and a half inches wide
a knurled knob on the lead screw lets you dial in the pressure for a secure hold and the abrasive
clamp faces keep the stock from slipping and to keep the work piece from lifting during machining
the small piece holder incorporates adjustable hold down pins that secure tightly against the top
of your work piece if you're concerned about tear out while routing you can sandwich a sacrificial
block between your stock and the adjustable interior fence or attach the block with a
couple of pan head screws driven through the slots in the fence and if you're working with thicker
stock that won't allow the bases to make contact with the table surface you can attach an outrigger
block to the outer base to ensure stability and an even cut all told the rockler small piece holder
will help you work more safely and achieve better results when shaping small work pieces
