The plate is then carefully machined in multiple, high RPM passes on our state-of-art CNC equipment. The result is a single-piece ruler and handle square. This manufacturing process insures accuracy to within .001 inch or less along the full length of the tool.Strength and AccuracyOnce we have a perfect square, we add two pieces of precision-machined aluminum to form the cheeks of the handle. These cheeks are fitted to the handle with two stainless steel dowel pins that ensure bulletproof rigidity and perfect alignment when pressed into their precision-machined holes. This kind of strength and accuracy simply cannot be matched by squares made using separate ruler and handle parts or punched-out on a stamping press.Features GaloreThe rulers on are ¼” thick and the handle is a full ¾”. The inside edge of the of the square’s handle features a shoulder to allow it to lay flat on the work so you can accurately mark either edge of the rule. The thick base even makes it easy to stand the rule upright to check square on your table saw blade, jointer fence, band saw blade and other machinery setup operations. With the square standing upright, checking casework parts for square is an effortless, hands-free operation.We even mill a notch at the inside corner of the square so you can “zero-out” your layout line all the way to the edge of your work. Easy to read measurement scales are laser etched in 1/16th increments on both sides of the ruler. ## Features - SPECS - You will receive a 12-inch precision woodworking square.

It looks like it would but I'm not sure about the aluminum plate.** A: I don't think that this would work for laying out stair stringers. There are only measurement markings on the "blade" side and not the handle. In laying out stair stringers you usually need to measure the rise and run of the treads with both sides of a carpenters framing square. Using stair gauges https://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Level-Tool-Contractor-Square/dp/B00002NBKH/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1474404732&sr=8-7&keywords=framing+square would also help as it locks in the run and rise. **Q: What is the thickness of the blade?** A: Blade is 1/4" thick and the handle is 3/4" thick. **Q: Can someone tell me the weight of this square? Says Item weight 5 pounds and shipping weight 4.4 pounds, sounds way too much and inconsistent.** A: I think it’s a mistake...no way this item is 5 pounds... it’s not a weightlifting item... good question... now I will have to take note on the weight for the square **Q: How wide is the blade of this tool?** A: Blade is 1-3/4" wide ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***N on 17 June 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***O on 30 October 2019* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***T on 21 March 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - Woodpeckers Precision Woodworking Square, 12 Inch, Aluminum, USA Made, Feature Packed Square, Self Standing, Shoulder Lip, Laser Engraved Scales - Woodpeckers Paolini Pocket Rule, Aluminum, 12 Inch, Woodworking Ruler with Sliding Stop, Vertical End Scale, Scribing Notch, Engraved Scales - Woodpeckers T Square, 24 Inch, Precision Woodworking T-Square Ruler, Built-in Edge Support, Scribing & Shelf Pin Guides, Rack-It Mount, Made in USA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/437901947-woodpeckers-precision-woodworking-tools-1281r-woodworking-square-imperial](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/437901947-woodpeckers-precision-woodworking-tools-1281r-woodworking-square-imperial) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
