An engineers square set is one of the more considered purchases you can make for the workshop. Accuracy at this level touches every task from machine setup to joinery layout and poor tolerances can compound quickly.
This K-MET set of three hardened steel precision squares covers the most useful size range: 100mm, 160mm and 250mm. The flanged foot is the key detail that sets them apart from a standard engineers square: both the top and bottom of the foot are measuring surfaces, so each square works equally whether stood on a surface plate or hooked over a face edge.
Set contains:
4020: 100 x 63 mm, (17mm x 4mm section)
4021: 160 x 100 mm, (26mm x 5mm section)
4022: 250 x 160 mm, (26mm x 5mm section)
Key features:
- Hardened steel with Blanchard ground faces and precision ground measuring surfaces, so you can see at a glance which is which
- Squareness tolerance meets PN 25 5124 standard: 0.058mm at 100mm, 0.070mm at 150mm, 0.088mm at 250mm
- Three sizes covering machine setup, component inspection and marking out perpendiculars
- Flanged foot doubles the referencing options without any compromise in accuracy
Tolerances this tight make a practical difference when squaring a mortiser, setting a bandsaw fence or checking machined components against a known reference surface.
