Stainless Steel Precision Woodworking Squares

Layout, Machine Set-Up and Assembly Checks…These Squares Have You Covered

The one-piece central core defines a Woodpeckers square. Square isn’t determined by pins, rivets, screws or spot-welds like it is in virtually every other square on the market. It’s determined by our state-of-the-art CNC milling centers. The core is machined square by a computer and verified square by our computer-controlled optical inspection system, which is capable of measuring angularity to 6 decimal places. The 1/16" thick stainless steel core receives heat treating and tempering after machining. And then they get a trip to the finishing department where a series of processes results in a satin, non-glare surface that contrasts nicely with the laser-engraved scales. 

Like our aluminum squares, the cheeks added to the central core are narrower, forming a shoulder that keeps your square registered to your stock even when you let go. You’ll love using our new stainless-steel squares for lay out work. The thin blade puts the scale right next to your stock, reducing parallax error. When you need a mark parallel with an edge, just drop a pencil into the correct scribing guide and slide the square along the edge of your stock. The scribing guides are shaped to accommodate almost any marking tool you favor, not just mechanical pencils. 

The wide base of the squares provides a solid footing when you're checking cabinet components for square. Like our full line of Precision Squares, we stand behind these squares for the life of the tool. We guarantee them to be ±.0085° or better. To put that in perspective, on the 1282SS, the maximum error you could find at the far end of the square would be less than half the thickness of a human hair.  If you ever find it outside that tolerance, we’ll fix it or replace it. 

You can get either the 1282SS or 642SS separately, or save some money buying them as a set. Each square comes with a wall-mountable Rack-It to keep your square right in plain sight and always ready to go to work. 

Note:  Our larger sizes in inch and metric are only available during limited production batches.  Keep an eye on your inbox to be notified when we drop these for sale.

Like all Woodpeckers tools, the Stainless Steel Precision Woodworking Squares are precisely machined and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio factory.
