Steel Engineers Square 100mm/4″

Description

A Steel Engineer’s Square (100mm/4”) is a precision tool typically used in metalworking, including jewellery making and general fabrication. Its ‘L’ shape with the vertical and horizontal arms at a 90-degree angle to each other allows it to be used in several ways.

Uses in jewellery and metalworking:

• Checking squareness: It can be used to ensure that the edges of your metalwork like sheet metal, wires are perfectly square.
• Creating a square edge: If you’re working with a piece of metal that isn’t perfectly square, you can use the square tool as a guide to help you make cuts or folds to create a right angle.
• Aligning components: It helps in ensuring that pieces of your jewellery are properly aligned when joining them together, such as when you’re soldering or welding.
• Marking right angles: You can use the square to mark lines at exactly 90-degree angles to other features on your metal, ensuring symmetry and precision in the design process.
• Set-Up of tools: It’s also useful when setting up other tools, like saws, drills, or grinders, to ensure that they are aligned at right angles to the metal surface, allowing for more accurate and consistent work.
