Accurate T Square....

[Bill Fields]

Per mentioned dropping his square and Johnson.. Here is tip of the hat to Johnson:


I dropped my 40 year old Johnson combo square and the little thingie that is threaded that grabs the ruler snapped. Sent the part to Johnson "for their inspection" and got new parts by return mail.

Tony, I use a Helix 30" T-square that I got from Office Max. It's probably not as rugged as the Woodpecker square, but it is accurate and a whole lot cheaper at about $30

Picked up the Johnson today at the orange place, $8 less than the amazon price. They had six of them, they set in grooves for 90 degrees, I checked three of them with a carpenters square, two were off about a 16th in 24", one was dead on. I folded it and rechecked it three times, stayed square each time. I sure hope the carpenter's square was accurate.

Thanks again for responses, we'll see how this goes. It is adjustable so I can check it ands tweak it if need be before each use.


EDIT: Okay, just went out to the shop and tested on a sheet of plywood, seems dead on !!
