Amtech - Engineer s Square, Hardened & tempered steel, Polished faces for precise layout, For bench and site use, 150 mm / 6 in

I recently joined a Creative Woodwork Course at the local College. This high quality precision tool, is very suitable for this type of work and will assist me in pursuing the Course and subsequent projects successfully.

Good cheap square

Amazing product just goes rusty very quick due to it just being raw metal.

Works as expected decent quality,

Bought it to set up a sliding mitre saw. Adjusted the blade with this for perfectly square cuts.

This looked like a decent item at a good price but on first checking on a surface plate I did what I do most people do who are trained engineer's I put it to the edge of the plate and scribed a line then turned over the square and scribed a second line starting at the same point as the first and when I looked there was almost a 2mm gap at the end of the line having a 2mm gap after only 150mmif I had extended the line the gap would just get larger. I have to say I have only heard of an engineer's square being out of square once before when someone was checking a item he had been grinding to square of the end and he managed to grind the square at the same time as the item he was working on. I think the best thing I can do is place this in the rubbish bin with a message on both sides stating not square in indelible ink.

Nice quality

Does the job and is precise but looks a bit poor where the two pieces meet - purely cosmetic and does not detract from accurate measuring.

La prima cosa che ho fatto è stata verificare che sia realmente a 90°, usando una Starret che è perfetta, e per fortuna è giusta. Piccolina, bella robusta, fa il suo lavoro egregiamente, per i piccoli lavoretti dove occorrono strumenti non molto grandi è ok. Non riporta scale di misura, è solo una squadra.
